Arthus C Clarke's (and Gentry Lee's) Rama Omnibus is also a daily deal for 99p today at Amazon UK. The first one's great, the others are a free bonus.

And a couple of highlights from (I assume) the monthly deals:

The Ministry of Time - Kaliane Bradley - 99p - https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0C1RYM6Z3
Sevice Model - Adrian Tchaikovsky - £1.99 - https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0CL4QXF8K

How about LITERARY Science Fiction? Or 'LITERARY General Fiction That is Science Fiction'

Maybe a 'horse with no name'?

I would contend that being Science Fiction rules it out of being General Fiction, but it is definitely still Literary Fiction. In any case I thought it was a useful clarification given the thread we are in.

A bit low-res compared to the print edition.

Good enough. It's certainly nice to have them all in one volume. I think I paid more for each US volume on sale than the list price of the Complete Edition in the UK, let alone the sale price.

Children of Memory by Adrian Tchaikovsky is currently $3. As the third book in the trilogy, it doesn't go on sale very often.

...but seriously, I consider ANYTHING by Ishiguro to be Literary Fiction. I collect his work (First Editions, USA English Hardbacks). I understand Ishiguro writes in English.

I personally keep it out of Science Fiction.
