New Humble Bundle is up, and it's a nice one for:
Humble Book Bundle Adventures in Science Fiction presented by Open Road Media, chock full of backlist titles from their catalogue of well-known and award-winning authors.
Authors include Andre Norton, Harlan Ellison (The City on the Edge of Forever original version, if you're a Star Trek fan), Poul Anderson, Joe Haldeman, Eleanor Arnason, Octavia E. Butler, Kate Elliot, Alan Dean Foster, and more.
Fixed tiers of $1, $8, $15, and $18 (no new titles added next week), with a bit of overlap from their two previous HB offerings and maybe their long-ago Groupees bundle, but otherwise a nice selection of stuff.
