Doctor Who: At Childhood's End - Sophie Aldred

Past or future, which path do you choose?

Past, present and future collide as the Thirteenth Doctor meets classic Doctor Who companion Ace – in the first epic novel from the woman who played her, Sophie Aldred.

Once, a girl called Ace travelled the universe with the Doctor – until, in the wake of a terrible tragedy they parted company. Decades later, she is known as Dorothy McShane, the reclusive millionaire philanthropist who heads global organisation A Charitable Earth.

And Dorothy is haunted by terrible nightmares, vivid dreams that begin just as scores of young runaways are vanishing from the dark alleyways of London. Could the disappearances be linked to sightings of sinister creatures lurking in the city shadows? Why has an alien satellite entered a secret orbit around the Moon?

Investigating the satellite with Ryan, Graham and Yaz, the Doctor is thrown together with Ace once more. Together they must unravel a malevolent plot that will cost thousands of lives. But can the Doctor atone for her past incarnation’s behaviour – and how much must Ace sacrifice to win victory not only for herself, but for the Earth?

As an update to my earlier post, The Bohr Maker by Linda Nagata was in a StoryBundle back in 2017. I don't know if it's been in a previous Amazon deal or not.

[sufue]

I've noticed a bunch of JK Rowling's Harry Potter titles in multiple languages popping up in my eReaderIQ feed in the last day or so, at moderate sale prices - such as $4.99 for some titles in the US instead of $8.99, or £2.49 in the UK rather than £4.99. But these almost never go on sale, so even a modest price drop is nice. OTOH, if you have KU they are in the KU program, so you can borrow for free, which is a little bit unusual for books of this stature. I did check Kobo US, and some sale prices are there too. Didn't check Kobo UK, just Kindle UK.

I am totally crammed for time right now, and don't have time to figure out which of seven books, in which of multiple languages, are on sale, and figure out the links, but if you might want some HP books, it might be worth taking a look right now.

I've been looking for some of them in Spanish now, having just taken three terms of Spanish at our local university, so I'm going to check those out later today when I do have time. Fingers crossed...

The Sorcerer of the Wildeeps by Kai Ashante Wilson

One of Wired’s Twenty-Five All-Time Favorite Books

Critically acclaimed author Kai Ashante Wilson makes his commercial debut with this striking, wondrous tale of gods and mortals, magic and steel, and life and death that will reshape how you look at sword and sorcery.

Since leaving his homeland, the earthbound demigod Demane has been labeled a sorcerer. With his ancestors’ artifacts in hand, the Sorcerer follows the Captain, a beautiful man with song for a voice and hair that drinks the sunlight.

The two of them are the descendants of the gods who abandoned the Earth for Heaven, and they will need all the gifts those divine ancestors left to them to keep their caravan brothers alive.

The one safe road between the northern oasis and southern kingdom is stalked by a necromantic terror. Demane may have to master his wild powers and trade humanity for godhood if he is to keep his brothers and his beloved captain alive.

Trail of Lightning by Rebecca Roanhorse is $1.99 on Amazon.com
First in a trilogy.

While most of the world has drowned beneath the sudden rising waters of a climate apocalypse, Dinétah (formerly the Navajo reservation) has been reborn. The gods and heroes of legend walk the land, but so do monsters.

Maggie Hoskie is a Dinétah monster hunter, a supernaturally gifted killer. When a small town needs help finding a missing girl, Maggie is their last best hope. But what Maggie uncovers about the monster is much more terrifying than anything she could imagine.

Maggie reluctantly enlists the aid of Kai Arviso, an unconventional medicine man, and together they travel the rez, unraveling clues from ancient legends, trading favors with tricksters, and battling dark witchcraft in a patchwork world of deteriorating technology.

As Maggie discovers the truth behind the killings, she will have to confront her past if she wants to survive.

Welcome to the Sixth World.
