Great sale: New Zealand retailers have these Gollancz specials too (at $NZ 3.99).

Edit: The list of sale books is on Gollancz's blog: http://www.gollancz.co.uk/2015/10/th...festival-sale/ (The links are to amazon.co.uk, but prices are the same at other retailers.)

Oh dear, they are also on sale in Germany (for 2.49 €). I have just picked up three of them. Not that I needed more books on my TBR.

Two $1.99 specials from Del Rey, perhaps only at US retailers:

Elizabeth Moon, Remnant Population

Connie Willis, Bellwether


I quite liked Bellwether, it might be a bit cosy/romancy for some tastes, but I thought it explored some nice ideas.

City of Stairs by Robert Jackson Bennett is $4.99 at Amazon and Kobo. (Not price-matched at B&N yet.)

Quote:
The city of Bulikov once wielded the powers of the gods to conquer the world, enslaving and brutalizing millions—until its divine protectors were killed. Now Bulikov has become just another colonial outpost of the world's new geopolitical power, but the surreal landscape of the city itself—first shaped, now shattered, by the thousands of miracles its guardians once worked upon it—stands as a constant, haunting reminder of its former supremacy.

Into this broken city steps Shara Thivani. Officially, the unassuming young woman is just another junior diplomat sent by Bulikov's oppressors. Unofficially, she is one of her country's most accomplished spies, dispatched to catch a murderer. But as Shara pursues the killer, she starts to suspect that the beings who ruled this terrible place may not be as dead as they seem—and that Bulikov's cruel reign may not yet be over.
$4.99 isn't the most bargain of prices, but it is 50% off the usual cost, and I liked the book, which I bought at full price a couple days ago, a lot. I did return and re-purchase it to get the better deal, but it's good enough that I wouldn't have regretted it if that hadn't been possible.

The sequel is also half-price, so I'm going to go out on a limb and pay $4.99 for essentially two books. Well, okay, $3.99, since I had a dollar credit waiting in the wings from the last Amazon Prime slowpoke shipment.

HarperCollins $1.99 dystopian sale

I'm not sure I'd agree with HC's categorization of dystopian fiction for some of them, but most of them appear to be SF or fantasy, and are $1.99 through today or tomorrow.

Recovery Man By Kristine Kathryn Rusch is currently on sale for 99c
This is part of the Retrieval Artist Series which I highly recommend, I have bought and own all the books in this series.

This seems to be available in multiple countries as I can also get it for 99c in Germany.

http://www.amazon.de/Recovery-Man-Re.../dp/B006FRUDWW

RT Book Reviews Reviewers Award Choice Nominee for Best Science Fiction Novel of the Year.

“Rusch continues her provocative interplanetary detective series with healthy doses of planet-hopping intrigue, heady legal dilemmas and well-drawn characters.”
Publishers Weekly

When she arrives home from school on Callisto, Talia Shindo finds two strange men in her house. They terrorize her, and kidnap her mother. The men leave Talia behind. She’s thirteen, brilliant, and determined to find her missing mother.

Retrieval Artist Miles Flint works a seemingly unrelated case, digging into files left him by his mentor. Only he finds a connection to the Shindo kidnapping, a connection that shatters everything he ever knew.

The two cases collide, changing Flint, changing Talia, and changing the universe around them—forever.

“This high-tech detective story, part of the Retrieval Artist series, has hard science fiction, a complex whodunit and a fascinating look at alien bureaucracy. All the elements for an entertaining story are here: well-drawn, believable characters with frailties and flaws, credible scientific theory, and authentic-feeling settings.”

That description sounds like just my cup of tea. Worth risking 99 cents, and even the $1.99 for the audio book add on....
