Susan Crealock · 06-01-2011, 04:00 PM

This should be described as Science Fiction rather than Fantasy.

Phoenix Pick's Ebook of the month: Georgia On My Mind & Other Stories by Charles Sheffield and free with registration and coupon code 9992231. Scroll down in their site until you reach this book, identified as "FREE EBOOK of the Month."

Description: Includes the NEBULA & HUGO winning title novelette.

A collection of some of the finest short stories penned by a master of hard science fiction, this anthology includes Charles Sheffield’s highly acclaimed novelette, Georgia On My Mind.

Georgia On My Mind won both the Hugo and Nebula when originally published in 1993. The accompanying stories were written by the author between 1987 and 1994.

“Sheffield, a physicist, proves to be one of the most imaginative, exciting talents to appear on the SF scene in recent years.”—Publishers Weekly

Apparently the freebie is the title novelette only. I mean, it's free so I'm not going to turn it down, just thought others might want to know.

Also note, the free novelette download page also displays a coupon (DIRG50M) for half off the full book, bringing the cost to $4.24 for those interested in the whole anthology.

If you sign up for the email newsletter, they've also got a very good deal for 75% off the regular retail price of a bundle of 3 of Stephen Leigh's sf novels, Dark Water's Embrace, Speaking Stones, and The Shape of Silence.

Only $7.64 (works out to $2.57 each, normally $8.49 each when you buy direct from publisher, list price $9.99 each before other stores' discounts) when you use the coupon code via the special link in their email.

I read DWE when it was a freebie from them last year, bought and read the sequel SStones during their 50% off coupon sale, and I quite liked both.

I would cheerfully be getting this bundle if I hadn't already paid for the 2nd book and it wouldn't be costing me more to buy the lot as-is than waiting for the standalone TSoSilence to go on sale on its own at some point.

Recommended if you like speculative semi-hard social sf; blurb compares it Ursula K. Le Guin's The Left Hand of Darkness and I'd say that while it's not quite there, it doesn't fall short of the mark, either.
