I'm a couple of books behind, but I've read more than the first six.

They are good MilSciFi reads. I enjoyed them. He also has a secondary series with the same characters:The Lost Fleet : Beyond the Frontier. This series has them dealing with aliens.
The third series, Lost Stars, is set in the same Universe but, deals with characters from the Syndicate side in Lost Fleet and how they are attempting to rebuild their worlds and stay free and independent of the old Syndicate. The Lost Stars series is my favorite of the three, but all are good.
I generally agree with that review, but would also point out that "Beyond" and "Lost" run in parallel and overlap at a few points... so it works best if you read them that way. I should probably check Goodreads and make sure the master series list puts them in the correct order.

The Chronicles of Master Li and Number Ten Ox by Barry Hughart

$2.99 Amazon US

This is a funny alternate-history trilogy (all contained in this omnibus) set in ancient China.

Publisher's Weekly says this about the books:

Quote:
Starred Review. Reading Hughart's endearing historical fantasy trilogy, first published almost 20 years ago, is much like wandering blindfolded through a myth devised by a maniac, in the words of Master Li, the greatest and most frequently intoxicated wise man in a colorful seventh century China that never was. Slow, strong and good-hearted peasant Number Ten Ox initially seeks Master Li's help to cure a bizarre plague and soon becomes his sidekick. Their rollicking adventures pit them against everyone from murderers and thieves to emperors and gods. Numerous Chinese legends, filtered through Ox's simple perspective, blend seamlessly into tales both lighthearted and heartrending. Hughart's many fans will welcome this modest alternative to the 1998 omnibus published by The Stars Our Destination bookstore, which commands high prices when it can be found at all. (Oct.)

That's a shame. I got it in a recent Humble Bundle. Indeed, it's the main reason I got the bundle - I'd been looking for it in ebook format for some time.

I believe it's one of the batch of 3 new books that were added to the Baen Free Library last week, so all three should be permanently free.

I had heard it was due to appear as a Fantasy Masterwork fairly soon, but it hasn't been mentioned in recent updates.

I picked up the Subterranean version from the late Books on Board a few years ago, when they didn't bother to check where I was shopping from. Perfectly decent value at full price.

It's planned for next year.

But Gollancz sometimes changes the schedule, so maybe it will come later or sooner. Who knows.

The 'Free' is gradually propagating through various Kindle stores across the world.

Baen Support hope all will be complete within 24-48 hours.

Keep an eye on

*** And I edit to note that all the above now show as Free.

I have checked a sampling of the 13 Country Kindle Stores

X-link to the DRM-free megathread since one of the things is technically chock-full of self-pub by established authors:

Tuesday Wildside Press freebie is for The Charles V. de Vet MINIPACK™, featuring vintage Golden Age pulp space opera adventures from the eponymous author (ISFDB).

For aspiring authors with sfnal leanings, the current StoryBundle The Write Stuff Bundle includes at the $15 top-tier level Hugo/Nebula winner Vonda N. McIntyre's (ISFDB, Wikipedia) Pitfalls of Writing SF & Fantasy, as well as World Fantasy Award-nominee Judith Tarr's (ISFDB, Wikipedia) Writing Horses: The Fine Art of Getting It Right (Tarr has some kind of horse ranch and this book is part-assembled from her columns on the Book View Café blog on what you can and cannot realistically accomplish in a horse-dependent fantasy/history society), and other less genre-focused stuff, including general career advice from Kristine Kathryn Rusch (former editor of the Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction, and a notable author in her own right as well).
