I've read the story and can recommend it. Another upcoming Xuya story with a similar pairing of characters has been announced this week.
Thank you, got it.

25 Years of Sci-Fi & Fantasy from Tachyon

Humble Bundle, 24 books for $15. DRM free, in multiple formats (.mobi, ePub and PDF, I believe).

From Humble Bundle's blurb... Get ready to ride off into the stars and charge into magical battles. We've teamed up with Tachyon to provide you with a bundle of imaginative digital sci-fi and fantasy books for your reading pleasure! Get ebooks like Ivory Apples by Lisa Goldstein, The Very Best of Caitlin by R. Kiernan, and Beyond Frankenstein by Mary Shelley.

$15 for all 24, $1 for the first seven and $8 for the first 14.

https://www.humblebundle.com/books/c...=tile_index_12

I bought a bundle of computer books a while back. in that case, the one book i wanted cost more at Kobo or Amazon then the whole lot cost me here.

One more thing I should mention... these are the minimum payments. You can pay more (and have it donated to a charity) if you want.

There's actually quite a lot of science fiction books in there, by big-name authors. For example:
And here's the general science fiction search.

You can easily search for any author by using the string below and replacing Your Author Here with the name of the author you want to search for (leave the quotation marks in):

Code:
creator:"Your Author Here"
These are all from scans that the Internet Archive has done of physical books. While I haven't tried any of the epubs yet, they are probably, at best, OCR'd from the scans. I'm planning to look through it to see if they have any of the books I've been looking for that aren't available as ebooks yet.

If you want more information about what this is, Ars Technica has a nice article explaining it.

I had a look at the epub of Ancient Ruins and Archaeology, and the quality was poor. It was readable, but the OCR errors were obvious enough to be jarring. If you're going to go for any title, I'd advise sticking to the pdf unless you want to spend time cleaning the epub file. It's a pity as I have Ancient Engineers and Citadels of Mystery in paperback and it would have been nice to get that one as well.

I liked this series. Abraham is one half of the author of the Expanse novels.

The Internet Archive's "Emergency Library" is (1) A library, made free by eliminating wait lists, (2) has content from many living authors, made available without their approval - those who spoke out are very upset about it, labeling it piracy, (3) and is on dubious legal grounds.

Therefore I think it doesn't belong this thread.

SFWA has issued a statement against it: Infringement Alert
