X-link to the DRM-free megathread for this Tuesday's Wildside Press freebie:
My Lady Greensleeves, a vintage short science fiction novel by the late SFWA Grandmaster Frederik Pohl. Also, Weightless Books are offering a free-with-any-purchase 4-issue subscription to one of their magazines, and they've a rather nifty collection of Letters to Tiptree on sale for just 99 cents, which I believe is eligible for the Hugo nominations for this year, in case you were considering candidates for Related Work. |

While it's very different from the Vorkosigan series, I enjoyed the Chalion series a whole lot too. I got started when the first one was at some reduced cost.

18 (perhaps more) classics for $15. Just to good to pass up. I've wanted the Amber spinoffs for some time. And Asimov's Robot stories are well worth having. Last edited by pdurrant; 02-18-2016 at 05:58 AM. |

I personally don't consider those 'franchise spinoffs' from this bundled set to be classics. (Zelazny is a 'classic writer; Betancourt is not.)
There are certainly a number of classics in that set, and they are deserving of the name 'classics of science fiction,' - but those spinoffs....well, it just ain't so, Magoo.

Yes, I'm not much interested in the sequels-by-other-hands. The value in this bundle is in the real Zelazny books and the Alfred Bester, in my opinion. Sadly, I already have one of the former from a previous Hundle (Damnation Alley from the Post Apocalyptic Bundle (I think)) and all of the latter in paper, so there are only a couple of Zelaznys left to interest me, and I don't think it's currently worth the hit to my TBR.

Lot of Zelazny in there... not that I am complaining. I already have one ebook from this bundle, and while I have all the Amber books in PB, I have none of the Zelazny's listed nor do I have any of these Amber continuation books (wasn't even aware of them, actually), so this bundle will likely be one of my major purchases for the year.

Neil Gaimon's Trigger Warning: Short Fictions and Disturbances is on sale at Amazon for $1.99. Even though the Amazon price is set by the publisher, it doesn't appear that they've lowered the price at any ePub retailers yet, where it is $11.99 (a dollar more than the paperback price at both Amazon and B&N, thanks agency pricing).
