Just saw one more: Linda Nagata's Going Dark, book 3 of the Red Trilogy is $2.99 at Amazon US, as are book 1 and book 2. The first two volumes were at that price previously, but I think this may be the first drop for the conclusion.

Book 1 blurb

Spoiler:

A Publishers Weekly Best Book of 2015

Reality TV and advanced technology make for high drama in this political thriller that combines the military action of Zero Dark Thirty with the classic science fiction of The Forever War.

Lieutenant James Shelley, who has an uncanny knack for premeditating danger, leads a squad of advanced US Army military tasked with enforcing the peace around a conflict in sub-Saharan Africa. The squad members are linked wirelessly 24/7 to themselves and a central intelligence that guides them via drone relay--and unbeknownst to Shelley and his team, they are being recorded for a reality TV show.

When an airstrike almost destroys their outpost, a plot begins to unravel that's worthy of Crichton and Clancy's best. The conflict soon involves rogue defense contractors, corrupt US politicians, and homegrown terrorists who possess nuclear bombs. Soon Shelley must accept that the helpful warnings in his head could be AI. But what is the cost of serving its agenda?

Book 3 blurb

Spoiler:

Presumed dead by those closest to him and with no intention of setting the record straight, former army Lt. James Shelley is recruited by a black ops outfit devoted to two things: guarding the Earth from existential threats, and the Red. Operating for almost two years among soldiers who are enhanced, and controlled, just as he is, Shelley believes he's learned a proper caution in working with the mysterious artificial intelligence--until the Red's increasingly erratic behavior ignites an accidental war, and launches Shelley on a collision course with his old life. In the final book of The Red Trilogy, Shelley must choose who--or what--to trust, while struggling to contain an escalating conflict that threatens to plunge the world into chaos, and destroy those he loves.
