SYNOPSIS

Sacrifice, revolution, the promise of freedom. These flood into the life of Casseia Majumdar, daughter of the Binding Multiples. Rebelling against her conservative family, the colonists who occupy Mars, Casseia takes part in the brewing revolution sparked by student protests in the year 2171. Meanwhile, her love life is in a very precarious situation, with her beloved Charles Franklin's seeking to merge his mind with the most advanced artificial mind. MOVING MARS is a science-fiction look at love and war, family and conviction, heart and mind . . .

When I bought the Quadrail series two years ago, it was published by TOR. I didn't realize it was now Open Road, which makes it couponable at Kobo. It might be my favorite SF series ever.

Thank you for the information on this site, which I was not even aware of.

I just donated $1 for six books. They look great, and I had absolutely no problem in purchasing and downloading them.

Thanks, again!

Please note that the Liz Williams book, from the above bundle, will need to go through calibre in order to get rid of the light gray color used, or you will find the font very, very light.

Calibre corrected the issue, and I now have blacks for the font.

Any special commands necessary?

Go to CONVERT BOOKS
then to LOOK & FEEL
click FILTER STYLE INFORMATION
and put a check in the box called COLORS

Then click the OK button and process.

That will remove all colors so that you have black for your font.

I've used this successfully on all ebooks when the font, for some strange reason, was not black.

Awesome; thanks.

Doesn't look like the $15K mark is going to be reached for that last bonus book; I think I will buy the full bundle, if only for the Anne McCaffrey bio.

Indexing by Seanan McGuire is the kindle SciFi & Fantasy Deal of the day for $1.99
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00CDXPL3I

“Never underestimate the power of a good story.”

Good advice…especially when a story can kill you.

For most people, the story of their lives is just that: the accumulation of time, encounters, and actions into a cohesive whole. But for an unfortunate few, that day-to-day existence is affected—perhaps infected is a better word—by memetic incursion: where fairy tale narratives become reality, often with disastrous results.

That's where the ATI Management Bureau steps in, an organization tasked with protecting the world from fairy tales, even while most of their agents are struggling to keep their own fantastic archetypes from taking over their lives. When you're dealing with storybook narratives in the real world, it doesn't matter if you're Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, or the Wicked Queen: no one gets a happily ever after.

Indexing is New York Times bestselling author Seanan McGuire’s new urban fantasy where everything you thought you knew about fairy tales gets turned on its head. Originally released as a Kindle Serial

[Rev. Bob]

Indexing is quite good, and I'm looking forward to reading the sequel when it's complete.
