The Powder Mage Trilogy
(Promise of Blood, The Crimson Campaign, The Autumn Republic) by Brian McClellan is $6.99 at Kobo U.S. https://www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/the...r-mage-trilogy Below is the blurb: In a world where mages control gunpowder and bullets, a brilliant general must defend his country from both war and insurrection. Check out the complete Powder Mage Trilogy in this omnibus edition, a series that Brandon Sanderson called "Just plain awesome!" In Promise of Blood: Field Marshal Tamas' coup against his king sent corrupt aristocrats to the guillotine and brought bread to the starving. But it also provoked war with the Nine Nations, internal attacks by royalist fanatics. Stretched to his limit, Tamas is relying heavily on his few remaining powder mages, including the embittered Taniel, a brilliant marksman who also happens to be his estranged son, and Adamat, a retired police inspector whose loyalty is being tested by blackmail. In The Crimson Campaign: Drastically outnumbered and pursued by the enemy's best, Tamas must lead his men on a reckless march through northern Kez to safety, and back over the mountains so that he can defend his country from an angry god, Kresimir. In The Autumn Republic: Field Marshal Tamas returns to his beloved country to find that for the first time in history, the capital city of Adro lies in the hands of a foreign invader. His son is missing, his allies are indistinguishable from his foes, and reinforcements are several weeks away. |

Amazon UK has a Daily Deal on SF today. It doesn't seem that great, but does include The Green Man's Heir (Green Man #1) by Juliet E McKenna and The Calculating Stars (Lady Astronaut #1) by Mary Robinette Kowal, both of which I really liked, and both of which are repeats, I think, but it does also include the third Lady Astronaut book, The Relentless Moon by Mary Robinette Kowal, which is the first time that's been on offer.

Years ago I purchased 6 books from Kobo, which I have just discovered are no longer available (to buy, I can still download them, if I need to). The books, in the series "Chronicles of the Last Emperor of Melnibone were:
For example the first one contains: THE STEALER OF SOULS
STORMBRINGER Does anybody know how these books are connected to the rest ? Thanks ! Bruno |

I have all of these, too, and they offer a great selection of stories dealing with Elric. They're available in different incarnations, and have been so over many years. For example, I have the original Lancer editions of Stormbringer and The Stealer of Souls. Some of the Elric books were later issued by DAW. Just read then in order and you should have loads of fun. I haven't read them in years, but I remember how much fun those two Lancer titles were when I was hungering for something similar to Edgar Rice Burroughs, Otis Adelbert Kline, Robert E. Howard, Lin Carter, and L. Sprague de Camp. That's about all I can tell you. |

Elric is a weird one, because the stories were written out of chronological order, and as Dr. Drib said there have been a myriad of different collections all with varying material. I think the wiki order is pretty good:

The Elric ebooks that are no longer available were from Del Ray. They are being republished by Saga Press in 3 volumes.
The first book will be out at the end of the year, and the rest in 2022. Last edited by salty-horse; 08-23-2021 at 02:31 AM. |

For example these books, which are in a series called Elric: The Moonbeam Roads: Daughter of Dreams (#1) https://www.kobo.com/it/it/ebook/daughter-of-dreams Destiny's Brother (#2) https://www.kobo.com/it/it/ebook/destiny-s-brother Son of the wolf (#3) https://www.kobo.com/it/it/ebook/son-of-the-wolf Elric: Stormbringer! (no number) https://www.kobo.com/it/it/ebook/elric-stormbringer Elric of Melniboné and Other Stories https://www.kobo.com/it/it/ebook/elr...-other-stories plus others, such as Count Brass https://www.kobo.com/it/it/ebook/count-brass (I know this is not Eric, I put it here to point out the offer) It is a bit of a mess for me to understand whether it is reasonable to buy them or not. I bought the paper stories long time ago (half DAW and half some British publisher I cannot recall right now) Understanding the content is quite difficult for me, there might be overlaps already in the above list (can't understand for example whether Elric of Melniboné and Other Stories overlaps with the others). Just as another example, the other books in the collection I bought have something of a mix, as far as I understand. Book 2 THE ETERNAL CHAMPION 1962 TO RESCUE TANELORN… 1962 THE LAST ENCHANTMENT 1962 THE GREATER CONQUEROR MASTER OF CHAOS (Earl Aubec) 1964 PHASE 1: A Jerry Cornelius Story 1965 THE SINGING CITADEL 1967 THE JADE MAN’S EYES 1973 THE STONE THING 1974 ELRIC AT THE END OF TIME 1981 THE BLACK BLADE’S SONG (The White Wolf’s Song) 1994 CRIMSON EYES 1994 SIR MILK-AND-BLOOD 1996 THE ROAMING FOREST 2006 Book 3 has THE SLEEPING SORCERESS ELRIC OF MELNIBONÉ Book 4 THE SAILOR ON THE SEAS OF FATE DUKE ELRIC Book 5 THE FORTRESS OF THE PEARL A PORTRAIT IN IVORY EARL AUBEC OF MALADOR Book 6 The revenge of the rose BLACK PETALS Comparing these with your list there does not seem to be holes, just a mix up. Any suggestions ? Is it worth buying them ? Bruno |
