I should point out that the Signature Edition includes Triangle (as well as the original Imzadi), so there’s no reason to buy both of these.

[Kieran Seymour]

I suspect the reason for the two individual Imzadi books being in the offer as well as the Signature Edition is because S&S are now discounting the same titles in the US and the UK - up until the middle of 2020 we used to get a different selection in the UK.

The problem in this case is that the Imzadi Forever collection has never been made available in the UK, although the two standalones have. The eBook of Q-in-Law is MIA as well, but that's a whole other issue.

If anyone's curious about them, Q-Squared and Imzadi are both excellent, and I remember Q-in-Law being quite a funny one - what you'd expect with both Q and Lwaxana Troi running around!

The solution is to go to Kobo.com and change the country to the US and buy the Star Trek eBooks not available in the UK.

That’s not correct. Book 2 and the SE are in the offer, but Book 1 is not.

[ottdmk]

The original edition of Imzadi (as opposed to Imzadi Forever) is not available. There is listed a non-Signature edition of Imzadi Forever which only has the plot summary of Imzadi (no mention of Worf.) Weird.

However, three (four, really) Peter David Next-Gen novels for $2.97 CDN? Sold!!!

Mindbridge By Joe Haldeman $1.99 Amazon, Kobo and B&N

[salty-horse]

In Other Lands by Sarah Rees Brennan is $2.99 on Amazon.com

The Borderlands aren’t like anywhere else. Don’t try to smuggle a phone or any other piece of technology over the wall that marks the Border — unless you enjoy a fireworks display in your backpack. (Ballpoint pens are okay.) There are elves, harpies, and — best of all as far as Elliot is concerned — mermaids.

"What’s your name?"

"Serene."

"Serena?" Elliot asked.

"Serene," said Serene. "My full name is Serene-Heart-in-the-Chaos-of-Battle."

Elliot’s mouth fell open. "That is badass."

Elliot? Who’s Elliot? Elliot is thirteen years old. He’s smart and just a tiny bit obnoxious. Sometimes more than a tiny bit. When his class goes on a field trip and he can see a wall that no one else can see, he is given the chance to go to school in the Borderlands.

It turns out that on the other side of the wall, classes involve a lot more weaponry and fitness training and fewer mermaids than he expected. On the other hand, there’s Serene-Heart-in-the-Chaos-of-Battle, an elven warrior who is more beautiful than anyone Elliot has ever seen, and then there’s her human friend Luke: sunny, blond, and annoyingly likeable. There are lots of interesting books. There’s even the chance Elliot might be able to change the world.

Highly recommended. Indeed, I recommend all her books.

The Drowning Girl by Caitlín R. Kiernan is $4.99 on Amazon.com
Horror/Fantasy

India Morgan Phelps—Imp to her friends—is schizophrenic. She can no longer trust her own mind, convinced that her memories have somehow betrayed her, forcing her to question her very identity.

Struggling with her perceptions of reality, Imp must uncover the truth about an encounter with a vicious siren, or a helpless wolf who came to her as a feral girl, or something that was neither of these things, but something far, far stranger…

Black Leopard, Red Wolf by Marlon James is $1.99 on Amazon.com
First in a trilogy. This is by a "literary" author, and has gotten a lot of mainstream attention.

Tracker is known far and wide for his skills as a hunter: "He has a nose," people say. Engaged to track down a mysterious boy who disappeared three years earlier, Tracker breaks his own rule of always working alone when he finds himself part of a group that comes together to search for the boy. The band is a hodgepodge, full of unusual characters with secrets of their own, including a shape-shifting man-animal known as Leopard.

As Tracker follows the boy's scent--from one ancient city to another; into dense forests and across deep rivers--he and the band are set upon by creatures intent on destroying them. As he struggles to survive, Tracker starts to wonder: Who, really, is this boy? Why has he been missing for so long? Why do so many people want to keep Tracker from finding him? And perhaps the most important questions of all: Who is telling the truth, and who is lying?

Drawing from African history and mythology and his own rich imagination, Marlon James has written a novel unlike anything that's come before it: a saga of breathtaking adventure that's also an ambitious, involving read. Defying categorization and full of unforgettable characters, Black Leopard, Red Wolf is both surprising and profound as it explores the fundamentals of truth, the limits of power, and our need to understand them both.
