The Book That Wouldn't Burn by Mark Lawrence is $3 in the US (Kobo, Amazon) First in the Library Trilogy - book 2 is already out. Was on my wishlist - people seem to love it. No previous knowledge with Lawrence's work is required. It's also much less grimdarky than his usual fare. Quote:

The Death of Sir Martin Malprelate by Adam Roberts is $2 in the US (Kobo, Amazon)
His latest novel. On the surface, not an SF novel like his usual work, but takes inspiration from fiction of the period. Quote:
First in a completed series. Quote:

The Mocking Program by Alan Dean Foster is $2 at Amazon, B&N and Kobo US.
This is a novel. Apparently Foster also wrote short stories about the same character, collected as Montezuma Strip Quote:

Heads up about Open Road Media books:
I've come to realize they're poorly edited. The collection I got (Is That What People Do? by Robert Sheckley) has OCR-ed text, and one of the stories is actually a duplicate of another story. I see reports online that this a common problem with their offerings. |
