Bargain (and DRM-free) @ 99 cents each from Nebula Award-winning author Walter Jon Williams (ISFDB, Wikipedia); couponable/VIP-eligible from Kobo, but these are distributed via Smashwords to all the usual stores, in case you wanted to give the author more money via the greater royalty from a direct sale:

• Implied Spaces, a “sword and singularity” space opera adventure novel (Wikipedia) originally published by Night Shade Books in 2008, which placed 9th in the Locus Awards for Best SF Novel. @ Smashwords
• The Rift, a speculative fiction disaster what-if novel about the aftereffects of a megaquake (Wikipedia), originally published by HarperPrism in 1999. @ Smashwords

The author also offers a freebie copy of his 2001 Nebula Award-winning story: Daddy's World, and prices several novellas under $1 each, if you're interested.

Tracker (Foreigner series #16) by C. J. Cherryh for $1.99 at Amazon US. This is the lowest price since eReaderIQ started tracking it in 2010. Now only 8 more to go for the (current) 18-book series <sigh>.

The sixteenth novel in Cherryh’s Foreigner space opera series, a groundbreaking tale of first contact and its consequences…

It’s been a year of upheaval, since Bren Cameron’s return from space—a year when he and the aiji-dowager, one of his most powerful atevi allies, returned home from their two-year interstellar mission to find the government over*thrown and their world in chaos.

Now, at last, things are calming down; the Assassins’ Guild is functioning again, working out its internal difficulties, and Bren is settling back into his routine: not as Lord of the Heavens; not—to his regret—as Lord of Najida peninsula, where his leisure estate is located; but as paidhi-aiji, an official in the atevi court.

His current ambition is to keep himself and his bodyguard out of harm’s way, and to shepherd the aiji-dowager’s daring new trade agreement through the appropriate legislative committees. Combined with Tabini-aiji’s recent appointment of his young son Cajeiri as his official heir, Bren’s workload is challenging, but at least things on the atevi world seem to be on the right track.

Something is coming, however, quietly, stealthily, just the first ominous twinkle of a new star in the heavens….

Bargain @ $1.99 from HarperCollins in Canada & the US (should be the same price at all the usual retailers):

Anathem by Neal Stephenson (ISFDB, Wikipedia), his standalone metaphysical science fiction novel, which won the 2009 Locus Award for Best SF novel.

Anathem, the latest invention by the New York Times bestselling author of Cryptonomicon and The Baroque Cycle, is a magnificent creation: a work of great scope, intelligence, and imagination that ushers readers into a recognizable-yet strangely inverted-world.

Fraa Erasmas is a young avout living in the Concent of Saunt Edhar, a sanctuary for mathematicians, scientists, and philosophers, protected from the corrupting influences of the outside "saecular" world by ancient stone, honored traditions, and complex rituals. Over the centuries, cities and governments have risen and fallen beyond the concent's walls. Three times during history's darkest epochs violence born of superstition and ignorance has invaded and devastated the cloistered mathic community. Yet the avout have always managed to adapt in the wake of catastrophe, becoming out of necessity even more austere and less dependent on technology and material things. And Erasmas has no fear of the outside-the Extramuros-for the last of the terrible times was long, long ago.

Now, in celebration of the week-long, once-in-a-decade rite of Apert, the fraas and suurs prepare to venture beyond the concent's gates-at the same time opening them wide to welcome the curious "extras" in. During his first Apert as a fraa, Erasmas eagerly anticipates reconnecting with the landmarks and family he hasn't seen since he was "collected." But before the week is out, both the existence he abandoned and the one he embraced will stand poised on the brink of cataclysmic change.

Powerful unforeseen forces jeopardize the peaceful stability of mathic life and the established ennui of the Extramuros-a threat that only an unsteady alliance of saecular and avout can oppose-as, one by one, Erasmas and his colleagues, teachers, and friends are summoned forth from the safety of the concent in hopes of warding off global disaster. Suddenly burdened with a staggering responsibility, Erasmas finds himself a major player in a drama that will determine the future of his world-as he sets out on an extraordinary odyssey that will carry him to the most dangerous, inhospitable corners of the planet . . . and beyond.
