Amnesiac and quarantined, John is visited by an inscrutable doctor, tending to the still fresh wounds. As his memory returns, John questions not only the assault, but the renewed marks on his body, and the black fungus now growing on the walls.A sudden event changes everything. Shel is interrogated over the expedition in the park; John throws himself into work, developing new software. Together, with a greater understanding of how much they have to lose, they face a grave threat, something that promises to devour everything.

The second one in the series, Black and Mist, is $0.99 too. I don't know for sure if that's a sale price since eReaderIQ hasn't been tracking it. But since the third one in the series is $2.99, it probably is. Oh, and both are discountable at Kobo...

Sailing ships in space reminds me of Treasure Planet or the work of Leiji Matsumoto.

Fevered Star (sequel to Black Sun) by Rebecca Roanhorse is $2 in the US (Kobo, Amazon)

High Times in the Low Parliament by Kelly Robson is $2 in the US (Kobo, Amazon)
Was on my wishlist.

A lighthearted romp through an 18th-century London featuring flirtatious scribes, irritable fairies, and the dangers of Parliament.

Lana Baker is Aldgate’s finest scribe, with a sharp pen and an even sharper wit. Gregarious, charming, and ever so eager to please, she agrees to deliver a message for another lovely scribe in exchange for kisses and ends up getting sent to Low Parliament by a temperamental fairy as a result.

As Lana transcribes the endless circular arguments of Parliament, the debates grow tenser and more desperate. Due to long-standing tradition, a hung vote will cause Parliament to flood and a return to endless war. Lana must rely on an unlikely pair of comrades—Bugbite, the curmudgeonly fairy, and Eloquentia, the bewitching human deputy—to save humanity (and maybe even woo one or two lucky ladies), come hell or high water.

The Silo Series Collection by Hugh Howey is FINALLY on sale for $2 in the US (Kobo, Amazon)

The Silo Saga Omnibus brings together all of the work in Hugh Howey's ground-breaking, best-selling, acclaimed series, including the individual novels Wool, Shift, and Dust, as well as original essays by the author, and a bonus chapbook of short fiction, Silo Stories

The remnants of humanity live underground in a vast silo. In this subterranean world, rules matter. Rules keep people alive. And no rule is more strictly enforced than to never speak of going outside. The punishment is exile and death.

When the sheriff of the silo commits the ultimate sin, the most unlikely of heroes takes his place. Juliette, a mechanic from the down deep, who never met a machine she couldn’t fix nor a rule she wouldn’t break.

What happens when a world built on rules is handed over to someone who sees no need for them? And what happens when a world broken to its core comes up against someone who won’t stop until things are set to right?

Their world is about to fall. What—and who—will rise?

Wow. I'm not interested in the books, but man that is a good deal.

The Reluctant Swordsman by Dave Duncan is $1.99 at Amazon and Kobo US.

A young man is transformed into a barbarian fighter in this adventure from “one of the leading masters of epic fantasy” (Publishers Weekly).

Wallie Smith can feel the pain. He goes to the hospital and remembers the doctors and the commotion, but when he wakes up it all seems like a dream. However, if that was a dream, how do you explain waking up in another body and in another world? Little Wallie finds himself in the physique of a barbarian swordsman, accompanied by both an eccentric priest babbling about the Goddess and a voluptuous slave girl. Is this a rude awakening or a dream come true? What in the world will Wallie do now that he has found himself stranded in a strange realm? Well, it just so happens that the Goddess is in need of a swordsman. It will not be easy, but if he succeeds he will have everything he wants. If he does not, things could get ugly. Wallie is reluctant but sees his chance. If only he had the faintest clue as to the adventure he is about to unleash! If only he could imagine the forces that will be out to vanquish him!

It's an old story, but then it's an old book, originally published in 1988.

So what are you gonna do?
I already bought (and haven't read) the first one, and since then have joined a library which have them, so I'm good.

I also bought the first one for $1.99 back in November 2020 (and read them all prior to the movies coming out). But this is a very good deal, and they, while not perfect books by any means, are a fun read, so I took advantage of this.

I wonder if Songbirds and Snakes ever goes on sale. I have it in hardcover but wouldn't mind having an e-copy.

Eh, I'm going to skip it. I sat through the movies for others. They weren't really my bag.
