Leviathan by Scott Westerfeld

I do not know if anybody noticed, but it has been recently reduced to $1.99, at least on Amazon US.

A number of SF/Fantasy bargains on today's Amazon UK Kindle Daily Deal:

King of Swords, by Dave Duncan.
The God Patent by Ransom Stephens (is "Ransom" really a name? )
The Mammoth Book of Time Travel SF edited by Mike Ashley.
The Time Traveller's Almanac: The Ultimate Treasury of Time Travel Fiction edited by Ann and Jeff Vandemeer.
Among Thieves by Douglas Hulick.

Some real bargains there. I'd particularly recommend the "Mammoth Book" volume; I have lots of books in this series and they are all excellent. Dave Duncan is also a very good fantasy author, best known for his "Seventh Sword" trilogy.

Boneshaker, the first of Cherie Priest's Clockwork Century books is $0.97 at Diesel.

Also Brandon Sanderson's Mistborn Trilogy, it was mentioned in one of these threads recently but I think the price has now gone even lower, $2.93 at Diesel.

Another Diesel deal...

The Lost Gate by Orson Scott Card for $0.97
Quote:
Danny North grew up in a family of gods - the poor remnants of the mages who once went by names like Odin, Thor, and Freya. When the gates that led to their home world of Westil were closed by Loki in 632 a.d., they lost much of their power. When Danny realizes that he is a gatemage, he has to flee the family compound in western Virginia and make his own way in the world, at least until he learns how to control his gift and reopen a gate between the worlds. Not only does he face the ordinary dangers of a teenager trying to survive on his own in America, and the mages who would kill him if they realized what he was, but also, if he ever succeeds in opening a gate to Westil, he can expect to be stripped of all his power by the Gate Thief, who seems determined to keep all gates closed.

On Stranger Tides by Tim Powers is £0.99 at Amazon UK today.

"1718: Puppeteer John Chandagnac has set sail for Jamaica to recover his stolen inheritance, when his ship is seized by pirates. Offered the choice to join the crew, or be killed where he stands, he decides that a pirate's life is better than none at all.

Now known as Jack Shandy, this apprentice buccaneer soon learns to handle a mainsail and wield a cutlass - only to discover he is now a subject of a Caribbean pirate empire ruled by one Edward Thatch, better known as Blackbeard.

A practitioner of voodoo, Blackbeard is building an army of the living and the dead, to voyage together to search for the ultimate prize: the legendary Fountain of Youth."

On Stranger Tides is a monthly deal, I believe, so doesn't necessarily need to be bought today. It's been on offer before, and so far I've resisted, but I must admit I am curious as to how this was turned into the fourth Pirates of the Caribbean movie. Not that I've seen the film, either. I have played the lego version in video game form, however.

Shades of Milk and Honey by Mary Robinette Kowal, however, is a Daily Deal, at the same price. Amazon UK link.

Thanks! I've considered trying this for a while - I'm not really an epic fantasy reader, but sometimes I get an urge to try something well-regarded, and for this price, can't really not get it.

Also, for anyone interested, Jaran by Kate Elliott is today's SFF daily deal on Amazon.com for $1.99 (at least for people with a US account).

The sequel to Brandon Sanderson's Mistborn, The Alloy of Law is also on sale at Diesel for $2.93

http://www.diesel-ebooks.com/item/97...-of-Law/1.html

Oh so tempting. I already have Mistborn on paper back, but it's so cheap and DRM-Free. Haven't read Alloy of Law yet.

This Amazon description doesn't inspire confidence in the quality of the book. Blackbeard's name was Edward TEACH, not Edward THATCH .

Granted, but he also didn't lead an army of the living and the dead in seach of the fountain of youth….


Perhaps he's a parallel world Blackbeard who name really is THATCH.


(Yes, I noticed it too, but I assumed it was a typo, or a significant change that's explained in the story. I hope it wasn't just a silly mistake.)
