FREE/BARGAIN — Science Fiction & Fantasy

[JSWolf]

At Kobo UK, Whispers Underground by Ben Aaronovitch is on sale for £0.99. For those in the US, you can travel to the UK on the Kobo express.

It's the 3rd book in the Rivers of London series.

Peter Grant is learning magic fast. And it's just as well - he's already had run-ins with the deadly supernatural children of the Thames and a terrifying killer in Soho. Progression in the Police Force is less easy. Especially when you work in a department of two. A department that doesn't even officially exist. A department that if you did describe it to most people would get you laughed at. And then there's his love life. The last person he fell for ended up seriously dead. It wasn't his fault, but still.

Now something horrible is happening in the labyrinth of tunnels that make up the tube system that honeycombs the ancient foundations of London. And delays on the Northern line is the very least of it. Time to call in the Met's Economic and Specialist Crime Unit 9, aka 'The Folly'. Time to call in PC Peter Grant, Britain's Last Wizard.

Unavailable in the UK, so I don't have to exert any will-power.

You can travel... You need to be in the USA. I didn't check Canada.

You could, but is it worth doing? It's a real faff to do, and you can only switch your country a limited number of times every 3 months. Plus you have to use a VPN and a country-agnostic payment (i.e. PayPal) rather than your regular bank card. Unless I have a list of available titles or it's a must-have author, it's not worth the hassle. (Note to US readers: please when posting these US-only bundles list the titles for non-US subscribers.)

I've read some VE Schwab, and have others on the TBR pile. I rather suspect it's going to be like the Jeff Vandeermeer bundle a couple of months ago; we already had most of the bundle. The ones I did grab were the Valdemar and the October Daye/Incryptid bundles (although I had most of the October Daye series via various Hugo packets).

People in the US would have no idea if a Humble Bundle eBook bundle is US only or not. That would be up to someone outside of the US to say that it's not available. Then someone in the US can take a screen grab of all the covers and attach it.

Perhaps you could do that then?

Thanks. We have 3 titles in the bundle - the first 3 of the Shades of Magic series, so probably not worth the effort.

The Cautious Traveller's Guide to The Wastelands by Sarah Brooks is £1 in the UK (Kobo, Amazon)
Was on my wishlist.
Review by Ian Mond
Review by Mahvesh Murad

It is said there is a price that every passenger must pay. A price beyond the cost of a ticket.

It is the end of the nineteenth century and the world is awash with marvels. But there is nothing so marvellous as the Wastelands: a terrain of terrible miracles that lies between Beijing and Moscow.

Nothing touches the Wastelands except the Great Trans-Siberian Express: an impenetrable train built to carry cargo across continents, but which now transports anyone who dares.

Onto the platform steps a curious cast of characters: Marya, a grieving woman with a borrowed name; Weiwei, a famous child born on the train; and Henry Grey, a disgraced naturalist.

But there are whispers that the train isn't safe. As secrets and stories begin to unravel, the passengers and crew must survive their journey together, even as something uncontrollable seems to be breaking in . . .
