Dawn by Octavia E. Butler from Open Road Publishing is currently $1.99 in the US.
http://store.kobobooks.com/en-us/ebook/dawn-28 http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/dawn...ler/1001891191 http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008HALOEQ Synopsis Rescued from Earth’s destruction, one woman is called upon to revive mankind Lilith Iyapo has just lost her husband and son when atomic fire consumes Earth—the last stage of the planet’s final war. Hundreds of years later Lilith awakes, deep in the hold of a massive alien spacecraft piloted by the Oankali—who arrived just in time to save humanity from extinction. They have kept Lilith and other survivors asleep for centuries, as they learned whatever they could about Earth. Now it is time for Lilith to lead them back to her home world, but life among the Oankali on the newly resettled planet will be nothing like it was before. The Oankali survive by genetically merging with primitive civilizations—whether their new hosts like it or not. For the first time since the nuclear holocaust, Earth will be inhabited. Grass will grow, animals will run, and people will learn to survive the planet’s untamed wilderness. But their children will not be human. Not exactly. This ebook features an illustrated biography of Octavia E. Butler including rare images from the author’s estate. |

X-link to the DRM-free megathread for some new bundles:
StoryBundle is offering The Women in Fantasy Bundle curated by Kristine Kathryn Rusch, and featuring a mix of new and backlist fantasy in various subgenres by established women authors, including Judith Tarr, P. N. Elrod, Laura Anne Gilman and more. And there's a (mostly) non-fiction Humble Bundle for DIY 3D printing and drone-making, for the more technically inclined Gentle Readers who want to live the future now. It's also got a kids' storybook about 3D printing, and a speculative fiction short story collection about robots at the lowest tier. Last edited by ATDrake; 02-05-2016 at 06:41 AM. |

Anniversary Day: A Retrieval Artist Novel by Kristine Kathryn Rusch (Book 1 in the Anniversary Day Saga which is also book 8 of the larger Retrieval Artist series) is currently 99c. Offer seems available in multiple countries (I see it for 99c in Germany as well as the US).
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B006FCFJJY http://store.kobobooks.com/en-us/ebo...l-artist-novel Previously an earlier book in the series was on sale for 99c and there was some discussion as to whether you should start with book 1 of the Retrieval Artist series (I would recommend this but also buy this book while its on sale) and a number of us highly recommended her series. https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...55#post3190855 Synopsis Four years ago, a bomb destroyed part of the dome protecting Armstrong, the largest city on the Moon. Now, as the city celebrates its survival with an event it calls Anniversary Day, a larger threat looms—one that begins with the murder of the mayor, and spreads across the Moon itself. Even with every new technological device at her disposal, Moon Security Chief Noelle DeRicci can’t stay ahead of the unfolding disaster. As the situation gets worse, Retrieval Artist Miles Flint hurries to his daughter’s school to protect her. And Detective Bartholomew Nyquist finds himself in the middle of everything, from that first bombing to the Anniversary Day crisis itself. A thriller with several mysteries at its core, Anniversary Day launches the Anniversary Day Saga, which will expand the Retrieval Artist Universe and change it forever. |

Reclamation by Sarah Zettel is one of Open Roads daily deals for $1.99 in the US
http://store.kobobooks.com/en-us/ebook/reclamation-2 http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CLVB9OC Winner of the Locus Award for Best First Novel: With mankind spread thinly across the galaxy, two refugees must find humanity’s home Eric Born knows his way around the universe. He’s a quick-thinking merchant blessed with natural telekinetic skill. He’s also that rarest of creatures, a human being. Humans have been scattered across the universe, powerless and oppressed, dispersed so widely that no one knows what planet they first came from. Eric survives by selling his talents to the mysterious galactic tyrants known as the Rhudolant Vitae, but has never forgotten he belongs to the human race, and the distant world, the Realm of the Nameless Powers. The Realm may be a backwater, but Eric will do anything to protect his home from the merciless and powerful Vitae. With the help of fellow refugee Arla Rengate, Eric embarks on a journey across the stars. To save the Realm, he will have to cross the Vitae, and discover a secret that holds the key to the origins of mankind. |

Has anyone read the Atlantis series by Bob Mayer? I'd like to know if they're worth adding to by TBR pile.
