Thanks. I've been watching that for a while and it never went free. Oddly enough there is another version out there (the one I've been watching) and it's still 1.99. Good UF. Dark, but good.

Apologies; I didn't specifically say "UK Kindle Daily Deal". I've now edited my post to add that rather vital information, which I should have said in the first place!

Right now in Canada, there's a bunch of Night Shade Books titles from $0.99 to $3.99 CAD (most regularly $7 USD), all couponable.

I don't know what's up with this, since on the US and UK sites, only 3 are below $5, but there's a bunch of those anthologies edited by Ellen Datlow and John Joseph Adams and their Eclipse and Year's Best Science Fition series, as well as novels by Harry Turtledove, Nathalie Mallet, Glen Cook, and others.

Linkage for the lot (about 3 pages' worth) @ Kobo (2 of the Eclipse volumes and one novel by John Shirley are $0.99/$2.99 in the US and UK as well).

I saw Tooth and Claw by coincidence the other day...it's been on my wishlist for ages (I think because Robin Hobb loved it) and I was browsing it. Picked it up. Already have Allow of Law. Picked up Stormdancer too, that sounds pretty cool (feudal Japanese steampunk fantasy?)

DSP Publications, Dreamspinner Press' non-romance-centered genre imprint, has a scifi book freebie today: Blue on Black by Carole Cummings

Kimolijah Adani—Class 2 gridTech, beloved brother, most promising student the Academy’s ever had the privilege of calling their own, genius mechanical gridstream engineer, brilliantly pioneering inventor... and dead man. But that’s what happens when a whiz kid messes with dynamic crystals and, apparently, comes to the attention of Baron Petra Stanslo. Killed for his revolutionary designs, Kimolijah Adani had been set to change the world with his impossible train that runs on nothing more than gridstream locked in a crystal. Technically it shouldn’t even be possible, but there is no doubt it works.

Bas is convinced the notoriously covetous and corrupt Stanslo had something to do with Kimolijah Adani’s tragic and suspicious end. A Directorate Tracker, Bas has finally managed to catch the scent of Kimolijah Adani’s killer, and it leads right into Stanslo’s little desert barony. For almost three years, Bas has tried to find a way into Stanslo’s Bridge, and when he finally makes it, shock is too small a word for what—or, rather, whom—he finds there.
