StoryBundle has a new offering, and it's for:
The Truly Epic Fantasy Bundle 2016 curated by Kevin J. Anderson, containing new and backlist books re-issued by his WordFire Press imprint.
Apparently this includes some straightforward historical novels (or maybe they're historical with non-obviously fantastical magic realism elements), including one about Joanna Plantagenet (sister of Richard the Lionheart), and another about the ancient Egyptian pharoah Akhenaten.
Highlight of the offerings is the late Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist Allen Drury's (
ISFDB,
Wikipedia) 1976 historical novel about Akhenaten,
A God Against the Gods, which has its own
Wikipedia entry.
There's also a backlist novel by Michael A. Stackpole (
ISFDB,
Wikipedia), originally out from HarperPrism in 1997,
Heart Readers by former Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction editor Kristine Kathryn Rusch, originally out from ROC. I actually own the latter as a paperback, and it's an okay novel with an interesting premise of a royal line cursed to have twins in every generation and trying to sort out its succession issues non-violently, this time.
Also, some new-looking offerings include a Brandon Sanderson novella, some kind of zombie version of the US Civil War co-written by Tracy Hickman (
ISFDB) of Death Gate Cycle and Dragonlance tie-in novel fame, and a Fiction River anthology volume edited by Rusch, containing new stories by authors including multiple Nebula, Mythopoeic, and World Fantasy Award-winner Jane Yolen (
ISFDB,
Wikipedia) and Esther M. Friesner (
ISFDB,
Wikipedia; editor of Baen's popular Chicks in Chainmail anthology series, and whose own humorous fantasy fiction I always enjoy)
$5 minimum gets you 5 novels, including the Stackpole backlist, the new Hickman, and the Plantagenet title.
$15 top-tier gets you an additional 6 titles: 4 novels (2 backlist, including the Drury and the Rusch) + 1 anthology + 1 novella which takes place in the same universe as Sanderson's Mistborn (but is otherwise standalone).
