Starfish by Peter Watts is $2.99 at Amazon US.

I've not read Peter Watts. His Amazon author bio turned me off a little, but the book sounds very good.

Quote:
A huge international corporation has developed a facility along the Juan de Fuca Ridge at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean to exploit geothermal power. They send a bio-engineered crew--people who have been altered to withstand the pressure and breathe the seawater--down to live and work in this weird, fertile undersea darkness.

Unfortunately the only people suitable for long-term employment in these experimental power stations are crazy, some of them in unpleasant ways. How many of them can survive, or will be allowed to survive, while worldwide disaster approaches from below?

The whole Rifters trilogy, (of which Starfish is the first), and Blindsight, are available for free on the author's website:
https://rifters.com/real/shorts.htm

Here are formatted epub versions (although they may contain errors)
http://www.feedbooks.com/author/193

Maybe it's better to download it and donate via the paypal link at the bottom of the page I linked.

Ah well, I bought mine. Good to know if I decide to read the sequels though.

I see what you mean. His books are very good though - I highly recommend them.

Blindsight is a standalone (until the sequel came out), and is the only novel I read of his. I can recommend it.

Death of Kings (The Saxon Stories #6) by Bernard Cornwell is $1.99 at most retailers. I believe the BBC TV series is based on this book.

Edward Lazellari's final book in his trilogy, The Blood of Ten Kings is now $3 on Amazon. It was $17 on release, so I don't know if this drop is a sale or permanent.

From the blurb: "as Dechert races to solve the first murder in the history of the Moon" --> magic words for a mystery lover who only dips her toes into science fiction !

Angelbound Origins Collection: Books 1-5 by Christina Bauer is free.

This is an indie series, of which I've read and enjoyed three of the books (Angelbound and Scala that are in this omnibus and Armageddon that isn't). The series is YA contemporary fantasy that's well written and fun to read. By way of testimonial, I originally got Angelbound for free, then paid for Scala and Armageddon, which were the only other two in the series at the time. The author has apparently written a number of other books since and rearranged the series order.

Then I will recommend Vernor Vinge's Marooned in Realtime, a murder mystery spanning 50 million years.
