Yes we do until the rounding errors are gone.

Can we make a separate thread for the rounding errors discussion this time?

Could we also not fan the flames? Let's nip this one in the bud, to mix metaphors.

Thanks for the link. His new book is not part of the sale, though. You can get the Quantum Evolution trilogy (Quantum Magician/Garden/War), the short story collection Flight From The Ages, and the prequel The House Of Styx, but the new book, The House Of Saints, is not part of the sale. It forms a duology with Styx, according to his website (i.e. there will be no third book this time).

The new book was part of the sale, but isn't any longer.
It was mentioned in the original tweet, which has now been deleted, so I guess they figured out it made no sense

Ha! They probably added it by mistake, since I assume the sale is intended to drum up interest in the new book, which the author presumably wishes to sell at full price on launch day.

I'll update you tomorrow if they respect my preorder price

For what it is worth, I rank the October Daye series right up there with the Mercy Thompson and Dresden series in the urban fantasy genre. If you enjoy those two series, then maybe our tastes match enough for you to enjoy this one as well.

For $18, it seems worth the risk. I love both the Mercy Thompson and Dresden series. So it sounds like I’ll dig this.

FWIW, which is probably less than most, since I read only sparingly in this genre, but have read almost all MT and some Dresden, I agree...

And, does anyone else find it totally odd that the Bundle is redeemed through Kobo, but they offer Amazon Pay as a payment option...

Oh yeah. It's just one more site to have to remember is all.

It's weird, but I think they might offer Amazon Pay as a payment option for everything. Quite a few companies use it just for the convenience (either for themselves or their customers).

Too many consonants even for his name

Great author by the way - I'm currently reading his Children of Time trilogy.
