The Ladies of Mandrigyn by Barbara Hambly (The Sun Wolf and Starhawk Series Book #1) is $1.99 in the US and is one of Open Roads daily deals.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004TC14C8 https://store.kobobooks.com/en-us/eb...s-of-mandrigyn This was previously discounted about a year ago and recommended by ATDrake (since it's still working its way up my to be read pile I'll link to that recommendation but say I have enjoyed her other books) https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...253828&page=21 Synopsis A brilliant mercenary must lead his army against the forces of the most powerful wizard alive Gifted with courage, strength, and the intelligence to know when to fight, Sun Wolf is the greatest mercenary in a land overrun by war. With his first lieutenant, Starhawk—a woman more deadly than any man—at his side, he has laid waste to countless cities, taking the best of their treasures for himself, and distributing the rest among his bloodthirsty crew. Then a woman comes to him, an emissary from the town of Mandrigyn, a lush port city recently sacked by a powerful, mad wizard of unmatched abilities. She offers Sun Wolf untold riches for the use of his army, but the captain is not fool enough to wage war against a magician. He refuses her offer, but that is not the end of it. The women of Mandrigyn can be very persuasive. Last edited by orangekiwi; 04-04-2016 at 03:41 PM. |

Midnight Riot (US) aka Rivers of London (UK) by Ben Aaronovitch is 99c in the US
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004C43F70 https://store.kobobooks.com/en-us/ebook/midnight-riot Probationary Constable Peter Grant dreams of being a detective in London’s Metropolitan Police. Too bad his superior plans to assign him to the Case Progression Unit, where the biggest threat he’ll face is a paper cut. But Peter’s prospects change in the aftermath of a puzzling murder, when he gains exclusive information from an eyewitness who happens to be a ghost. Peter’s ability to speak with the lingering dead brings him to the attention of Detective Chief Inspector Thomas Nightingale, who investigates crimes involving magic and other manifestations of the uncanny. Now, as a wave of brutal and bizarre murders engulfs the city, Peter is plunged into a world where gods and goddesses mingle with mortals and a long-dead evil is making a comeback on a rising tide of magic. |

Anno Dracula by Kim Newmanis £0.99 at Amazon UK at the moment.
Apparently an alternate history set in Victorian times, featuring, of course, Dracula. Last edited by pdurrant; 04-05-2016 at 10:18 AM. |

This is an old classic and highly regarded. (I mean the Kim Newman title.) Thanks for the heads up. |

X-link to the DRM-free megathread for this Tuesday's Wildside Press freebie:
Prospector's Special by the late Robert Sheckley, an vintage planetary adventure novelette set on Venus, originally published in Galaxy magazine in 1959. Also, if you like that kind of setting, there's also a bundle offer for an retro SF RPG done in that old school style which deliberately harkens back to the golden age pulps, by the makers of the rather nifty tie-in RPG for Charles Stross' Laundry Files novels. |
