EXODUS: The Helium Sea (Exodus: The Archimedes Engine #2) by Peter F. Hamilton is £2 in the UK (Amazon only ATM, but price-matchable on Kobo)
The epic conclusion of the far-future Archimedes Engine duology by legendary author Peter F. Hamilton.

For millennia, the Crown Dominion has been at relative peace, with the Celestials in control and the human population little better than serfs. But now the Crown Dominion is facing a crisis of epic proportions – one that could change the balance of power in the Centauri Cluster forever – as an exiled faction that has been waiting for seven thousand years beyond the Helium Sea has returned to claim its vengeance.

For Finn and his human allies, who have ended up at the center of this conflict through either circumstance or manipulation, this is an unprecedented opportunity. If they can band together, they may be able to outwit the Celestials and finally earn their fellow humans a place of independence and power in the Crown Dominion.

But first they must locate and master ancient artifacts of immense power that could give them a needed edge in the conflict ahead – all while ducking the forces that are determined to knock them off the board for good.[/QUOTE]

Peace by Gene Wolfe is $3 in the US (Kobo, Amazon)

Peace is Gene Wolfe's first full-length novel, a work that shows the genius that later flourished in such acclaimed works as The Fifth Head of Cerberus and The Book of The New Sun.

Originally published in 1975, Peace is a spellbinding, brilliant tour de force of the imagination. The melancholy memoir of Alden Dennis Weer, an embittered old man living out his last days in a small midwestern town, the novel reveals a miraculous dimension as the narrative unfolds. For Weer's imagination has the power to obliterate time and reshape reality, transcending even death itself. Powerfully moving and uncompromisingly honest, Peace ranks alongside the finest literary works of our time.

Stormbringer (Elric Saga, The #2) by Michael Moorcock is $3 in the US (Kobo, Amazon)

From World Fantasy Lifetime Achievement Award winner Michael Moorcock comes the second installment in his famous Elric of Melnibone series, brought to vivid new life with stunning illustrations.

In one of the most well-known and well-loved fantasy epics of the 20th century, Elric is the brooding, albino emperor of the dying Kingdom of Melniboné. After defeating his nefarious cousin and gaining control over the epic sword, Stormbringer, Elric, prince of ruins, must decide what he’s willing to sacrifice in a fight against Armageddon.

Stormbringer is the second in Michael Moorcock’s incredible series, which has transformed the fantasy genre for generations. Perfect for fans new and old, this book is brought to life once more with stunning illustrations from the most lauded artists in fantasy.

My favorite Moorcock book. I feel compelled to post it every time it comes up, because it was my reason for joining MobileRead (this was before Saga Press started republishing the Elric stuff and you could not get any Elric ebooks in the US).

Bitter Waters (A Dr. Greta Helsing Novel) by Vivian Shaw is $2 in the US (Kobo, Amazon)
Sequel to the original trilogy.

In this witty and charming novella Greta Helsing, doctor to the undead, investigates the mysterious appearance of a newly turned child vampire.

Relaxing at her partner’s ancestral estate, work is the last thing on Dr. Greta Helsing’s mind. But before she’s had the chance to kick up her feet, a wight appears on their doorstep carrying a newly turned child. Turning a young adult is a grave transgression; to do it to an eleven-year-old is nearly unheard of. Who could possibly commit such a sin, and why would they abandon her?

Dr. Helsing and her vampiric friends will travel across the United Kingdom and to Hell and back to find the answer.

Thanks! For some reason the Kindle app seems to turn cartwheels to avoid showing you this book if you search for it.

For those who want The Big Time in a different ebook format, it is available free from multiple sources including Standard Ebooks (https://standardebooks.org/ebooks/fr...r/the-big-time) and Gutenberg. I prefer the formatting from Standard Ebooks. At one time, it was the only Hugo award winning book in the public domain.

I got this one from Kobo. It is available in a non-drm epub.

Noor by Nnedi Okorafor is $4 in the US (Kobo, Amazon)

From Africanfuturist luminary Okorafor comes a new science fiction novel of intense action and thoughtful rumination on biotechnology, destiny, and humanity in a near-future Nigeria.

Anwuli Okwudili prefers to be called AO. To her, these initials have always stood for Artificial Organism. AO has never really felt...natural, and that's putting it lightly. Her parents spent most of the days before she was born praying for her peaceful passing because even in-utero she was "wrong". But she lived. Then came the car accident years later that disabled her even further. Yet instead of viewing her strange body the way the world views it, as freakish, unnatural, even the work of the devil, AO embraces all that she is: A woman with a ton of major and necessary body augmentations. And then one day she goes to her local market and everything goes wrong.

Once on the run, she meets a Fulani herdsman named DNA and the race against time across the deserts of Northern Nigeria begins. In a world where all things are streamed, everyone is watching the "reckoning of the murderess and the terrorist" and the "saga of the wicked woman and mad man" unfold. This fast-paced, relentless journey of tribe, destiny, body, and the wonderland of technology revels in the fact that the future sometimes isn't so predictable. Expect the unaccepted.

Tatja Grimm's World by Vernor Vinge is $3 in the US (Kobo, Amazon)

Vernor Vinge's first full-length novel

As a mud-spattered youngster, Tatja quickly realized she was different from the stone-age primitives with whom she grew up. Her insatiable curiosity and thirst for knowledge could not be quenched among them; she had to explore and learn more about the strange world she lived on.

She finds the bastion of all culture, arts, entertainment and history for the entire planet, the seven-hundred-year-old science fiction magazine Fantasie, which is produced entirely aboard a gargantuan floating vessel the size of a small city. But despite the printing presses, sail-powered vessels, and mind-expanding technology, Tatja is still dissatisfied. Rising through the ranks, she finds that the people on the enormous barge are just as unintelligent as the primitives she grew up with. But others have come to the planet who not only challenge her intelligence, but offer her a tantalizing opportunity to uncover answers to mysteries that have long plagued her.

But with opportunity comes risk. And if she acts unwisely, she could bring doom to the only world she knows.

Heaven's Graveyard by Grace Curtis is $4 in the US (Kobo, Amazon)
New release. Set 2000 years after Idolfire, but it's standalone.

**From the Sunday Times-bestselling author of Floating Hotel and Idolfire comes a science fantasy tale of history and myth, magic and mystery, perfect for fans of Shelley Parker-Chan and A. K. Larkwood

Be careful what you pray for . . .

Cod became an archaeologist to chase the ghost of her hero, Aleya Ana-Ulai. History may have written Aleya off as a myth, but Cod is determined to prove she existed, even if it means sifting through relics for the rest of her life.

Then a message arrives summoning her home. Cod's former teacher has found something monumental: the ruins of an enchanted city, slumbering beneath the soil.

This could be the breakthrough they've always dreamed of. But with war brewing, rival powers circling, and ancient magics stirring underfoot, their discovery soon becomes far more trouble than it's worth. Even Cod starts to wonder if some things are better left buried . . .

Heaven's Graveyard is a sinister lesbian history mystery bringing old magic into a dangerous new century.

It's definitely N America then. Browsing from the UK gets the not available in your region message.
