The Star Wars Trilogy by Alan Dean Foster, Donald F. Glut, and James Kahn is $2 at Amazon, B&N and Kobo US.

It annoys me that Foster's name still isn't on the book.

Oh, yeah. I get it. But when the ghost is so openly revealed, like the Wizard behind the curtain in Oz, why keep up the pretense?

Incidentally, there was a novelization of Close Encounters of the Third Kind by Spielberg. So far as I know, Spielberg actually wrote the book. I've never heard that it was written by someone else. Anyone have evidence that I am wrong?

Edit: I went looking again and found a recent Substack article that contains the following:

from a Spielberg interview in the 17th issue of Starlog
Quote:
...I was going to have direct writing input into the book. But post-production on the movie became so impossible that I had to get somebody else to write it. I didn't write the first, second, or third drafts. Those were written, based on my screenplay, by Leslie Waller, a very good writer. When I read his drafts, though, I told the publishers that unless it was cleaned up I wouldn't let my name go out with the book. So I sat down and spent less than a week – I wouldn't say rewriting the novel – but polishing it, and taking a lot of the plot and twisting it back into the direction of the screenplay. All told, there's about 20 percent of me in the book. I wish I could say there was more, but there's not.

That is published order. And it is helpful, given that I perpetually have to look up which is the next book.

I'm with you on that. I create documents for series as I'm reading them, and upload them to my Amazon account, so I can read them on my Kindle. Those documents have the reading order, including short stories and where those stories are found, and also indicate if I have a copy of a book that in Calibre but not on Amazon. The Kindle just isn't very helpful about sorting series.

The first Skyward spin-off novella by Brandon Sanderson and Janci Patterson has been a monthly deal in the UK for 99p in August. The question is: do I think they're going to cycle through the whole set? - in which case I should buy it while I still can - or is it just an introductory tempter? - in which case the omnibus is better value. Tricky one.
They didn't cycle through the set - in fact the non-sale price went up - so I was wise to resist this one.

The omnibus edition of all 3 novellas has just gone down to £2.99 on Amazon UK (making it cheaper than buying any of the individual novellas). I hope it's not just a one-day offer, or I've given you less than an hour's notice.

The Chrysalids by John Wyndham is $2 in the US (Kobo, Amazon)
Quote:
The apocalyptic Cold War era science fiction classic of a young boy’s quest for freedom in a post-nuclear religious extremist society

The Chrysalids is set in the future after a devastating global nuclear war. David, the young hero of the novel, lives in a tight-knit community of religious and genetic fundamentalists, who exist in a state of constant alert for any deviation from what they perceive as the norm of God’s creation, deviations broadly classified as “offenses” and “blasphemies.” Offenses consist of plants and animals that are in any way unusual, and these are publicly burned to the accompaniment of the singing of hymns. Blasphemies are human beings—ones who show any sign of abnormality, however trivial. They are banished from human society, cast out to live in the wild country where, as the authorities say, nothing is reliable and the devil does his work. David grows up surrounded by admonitions: KEEP PURE THE STOCK OF THE LORD; WATCH THOU FOR THE MUTANT.

At first he hardly questions them, though he is shocked when his sternly pious father and rigidly compliant mother force his aunt to forsake her baby. It is a while before he realizes that he too is out of the ordinary, in possession of a power that could doom him to death or introduce him to a new, hitherto-unimagined world of freedom.

The Chrysalids is a perfectly conceived and constructed work from the classic era of science fiction. It is a Voltairean philosophical tale that has as much resonance in our own day, when genetic and religious fundamentalism are both on the march, as when it was written during the Cold War.

Probably the simple notion that doing so would require re-opening their contract with Foster, and to do so would cost more than any additional profit generated by having his name officially attached.
