The novel (#5 in the series, proper novel length, with #6 due at the end of April) was $2.99 or so at Amazon a couple of days ago. Shortly before its release, Tor.com's ebook club had a special promotion: books 1-4 were each free for one day over the course of a week. I'd already picked the first two up cheap, so I got the next two (finishing the initial origin arc) that way and read all four back to back. Very satisfying, that.

So... it might be worth your whiles to join the ebook club and watch your email box starting around March. I can't guarantee anything, of course, but what have you got to lose?
