Well, I've read the sampler for the first one, and I liked that, so I've splashed out on the set. Two at £0.99 and three at £1.99 comes to £1.59 per book, which is a very good price.
I shall have to be very restrained in October. |

Forge of Darkness (The Kharkanas Trilogy Book 1)
by Steven Erikson is $2.99 at Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...d_i=1000677541 Kobo: https://store.kobobooks.com/en-us/eb...ge-of-darkness Below is the blurb: Now is the time to tell the story of an ancient realm, a tragic tale that sets the stage for all the tales yet to come and all those already told... It's a conflicted time in Kurald Galain, the realm of Darkness, where Mother Dark reigns. But this ancient land was once home to many a power. and even death is not quite eternal. The commoners' great hero, Vatha Urusander, is being promoted by his followers to take Mother Dark's hand in marriage, but her Consort, Lord Draconus, stands in the way of such ambitions. The impending clash sends fissures throughout the realm, and as the rumors of civil war burn through the masses, an ancient power emerges from the long dead seas. Caught in the middle of it all are the First Sons of Darkness, Anomander, Andarist, and Silchas Ruin of the Purake Hold... Steven Erikson entered the pantheon of great fantasy writers with his debut Gardens of the Moon. Now he returns with the first novel in a trilogy that takes place millennia before the events of the Malazan Book of the Fallen and introduces readers to Kurald Galain, the warren of Darkness. It is the epic story of a realm whose fate plays a crucial role in shaping the world of the Malazan Empire. |

A very special, incredibly moving book, it comes with my highest possible recommendation! ![]() Last edited by BetterRead; 09-29-2015 at 04:17 PM. Reason: I only wanted to bring attention to this great book; not get into a discussion re: SF labels. |

Why would SF label put anyone off in a Science Fiction and Fantasy bargain thread???

From the description it sounds like the drivel quality message fiction with virtually no SF in it that is winning Hugo awards nowadays.
So, probably worth the warning as I suspect we are in marmite territory here. ![]() |

![]() Silly me. Thinking that people here might actually appreciate a bargain on a really good book, as opposed to the crap that frequently gets discounted. I won't make that mistake again. Last edited by BetterRead; 09-30-2015 at 08:37 AM. |

Zero Sum Game by SL Huang is 99c today or similar pricing in other countries (uk, germany, probably elsewhere)
This is indie published but I enjoyed it enough to buy the next book in the series and is professionally done. Available from multiple retailers and DRM free. http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/zero...ang/1119014921 http://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B00JASCU3I http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00JASCU3I https://store.kobobooks.com/en-us/ebook/zero-sum-game-2 Synopsis Cas Russell is good at math. Scary good. The vector calculus blazing through her head lets her smash through armed men twice her size and dodge every bullet in a gunfight. She can take any job for the right price and shoot anyone who gets in her way. As far as she knows, she’s the only person around with a superpower . . . but then Cas discovers someone with a power even more dangerous than her own. Someone who can reach directly into people’s minds and twist their brains into Moebius strips. Someone intent on becoming the world’s puppet master. Someone who’s already warped Cas’s thoughts once before, with her none the wiser. Cas should run. Going up against a psychic with a god complex isn’t exactly a rational move, and saving the world from a power-hungry telepath isn’t her responsibility. But she isn’t about to let anyone get away with violating her brain — and besides, she’s got a small arsenal and some deadly mathematics on her side. There’s only one problem . . . She doesn’t know which of her thoughts are her own anymore. |
