Quote:
Twenty eight florins a month is a huge price to pay, for a man to stand between you and the Wild.

Twenty eight florins a month is nowhere near enough when a wyvern's jaws snap shut on your helmet in the hot stink of battle, and the beast starts to rip the head from your shoulders. But if standing and fighting is hard, leading a company of men - or worse, a company of mercenaries - against the smart, deadly creatures of the Wild is even harder.

It takes all the advantages of birth, training, and the luck of the devil to do it.

The Red Knight has all three, he has youth on his side, and he's determined to turn a profit. So when he hires his company out to protect an Abbess and her nunnery, it's just another job. The abby is rich, the nuns are pretty and the monster preying on them is nothing he can't deal with.

Only it's not just a job. It's going to be a war. . .

Vitals by Greg Bear is £0.99 at UK retailers.

Dead Lines is £0.99 too, but it is more tech-thriller than science fiction.

I thought Red Knight was great. In particular, his magic system was original and well-developed. It reminded me slightly of Jordan's Tel’aran’rhiod in the Wheel of Time series but was very different and not derivative. Also, his battle scenes with medieval arms and armor were particularly realistic, since he is very active in the re-enactor movement and actually knows what it feels like to wear armor and use medieval weaponry.

The second book in the series, The Fell Sword, http://www.amazon.com/Fell-Sword-Tra...rds=red+knight, has recently been released and was also good but I didn't like it quite as well as Red Knight.

I haven't read any of his historical fiction, written as Christian Cameron, but he has quite a following and has a great website with a very active fan base and a forum, Online Agora, which has a lot of lively discussion.

Just One Damned Thing After Another (The Chronicles of St Mary's #1) by Jodi Taylor is free today from Accent Press. This time travel book has garnered enthusiastic reviews and ratings, including here on MR in the Recommendations forum.
Goodreads link

Quote:
A mapcap new slant on history that seems to be everyone's cup of tea...

Behind the seemingly innocuous façade of St Mary's, a different kind of historical research is taking place. They don't do 'time-travel' - they 'investigate major historical events in contemporary time'. Maintaining the appearance of harmless eccentrics is not always within their power - especially given their propensity for causing loud explosions when things get too quiet.

Meet the disaster-magnets of St Mary's Institute of Historical Research as they ricochet around History. Their aim is to observe and document - to try and find the answers to many of History's unanswered questions...and not to die in the process.

But one wrong move and History will fight back - to the death. And, as they soon discover - it's not just History they're fighting.

Follow the catastrophe curve from eleventh-century London to World War I, and from the Cretaceous Period to the destruction of the Great Library at Alexandria. For wherever Historians go, chaos is sure to follow in their wake ...

I have read it and liked it so much that I also bought the next two books in the series. I have read the second, which I also liked, the third one is still on my TBR.

There's a new SF humble bundle.

Five books if you pay any amount. Two more if you pay $12 or more, four+ more if you pay more than the average (currently $9.77).

I have three of the extras already, and one of the five, so I chose to be a cheap-skate and just pay $1.

The Swan's War Trilogy books by Sean Russell have dropped to $.99 each.

The One Kingdom: Book One Of The Swan's War Trilogy
Amazon US | B&N | Kobo | Google | eBooks.com | OmniLit
Quote:
The cataclysm began more than a century earlier, when the King of Ayr died before naming an heir to the throne, and damned his realm to chaos. The cold-blooded conspiracies of the Renne and the Wills—each family desirous of the prize of rule—would sunder the one kingdom, and spawn generations of hatred and discord.

Now Toren Renne, leader of his great and troubled house, dreams of peace—a valiant desire that has spawned hostility among his kinsmen, and vicious internal plots against his life. In the opposing domain, Elise Wills's desire for freedom is to be crushed, as an unwanted marriage to an ambitious and sinister lord looms large. As always, these machinations of nobles are affecting the everyday lives of the common folk—and feeding a bonfire of animosity that has now trapped an unsuspecting young Valeman Tam and two fortune-hunting friends from the North in its high, killing flames.

But the closer Toren comes to achieving his great goal of uniting two enemy houses, the more treachery flowers. Nobles and mystics alike conspire to keep the realm divided, knowing that only in times of strife can their power grow.

And perhaps the source of an unending misery lies before an old king's passing, beyond the scope of history, somewhere lost in a fog of myth and magic roiling about an ancient enchanter named Wyrr—who bequeathed to his children terrible gifts that would poison their lives...and their deaths. It is a cursed past and malevolent sorcery that truly hold the land, its people, and its would-be rulers bound. And before the already savaged kingdom can become one again, all Ayr will drown in a sea of blood.

The Isle of Battle
Amazon US | B&N | Kobo | Google | eBooks.com | OnmiLit
Quote:
Treachery and deceit run rampant throughout a devastated land, spawning dark alliances in the terrible war ignited by the enmity of two families. But unbeknownst to all, there are others who truly control the beleaguered kingdom's destiny—combatants emerging from eons of restless sleep to renew the bloody terror of a battle older than time.

The Shadow Roads
Amazon US | B&N | Kobo | Google | eBooks.com | OmniLit
Quote:
The savage war between two mighty families has ravaged the kingdom both wish to rule—spawning treachery within the ranks of the Renné and Wills, drawing the brave, the innocent, and the malevolent alike into the bloody conflict. But a far more terrible consequence has arisen from the carnage—for Death himself has been roused from his dread domain . . . and is preparing to walk the world again.

They are rewards eligible at OmniLit, meaning they count towards the buy 10 get one free deal.
