Before buying, note the top review at amazon. Apparently it's been edited somewhen. (Possibly by the author, though.)

Good book, good price, not just a great SF novel, but a great novel, IMO.
I love Asimov's robot stories/novels. But Foundation left me cold. At this price, maybe I should give it another go.

That's funny, for me it is just the opposite. I love the entire Foundation series but didn't enjoy Robots as much.

Here's the publication history of the series:

It started out as a series of short stories, by the way.

X-link to the DRM-free thread for two new bundles:

StoryBundle's The Bump in the Night Thriller Bundle is curated by Kevin J. Anderson and mostly features titles from his own WordFire Press, including some backlist such as a 1996 Dell novel from Kristine Kathryn Rusch.

Humble Book Bundle Fandom & Philosophy presented by Wiley Blackwell contains meta non-fiction exploring the philosophies of popular mostly sfnal (but some music and other) franchises including Star Trek, Star Wars, The Hobbit, Game of Thrones, Battlestar Galactica, and more, if you're interested.

A masterpiece. One of the few books I've read that stays with me forever, and one I'd recommend to everyone.

Free on Amazon UK - Battle Dragons 1: The Broketail by Christopher Rowley


Spoiler:
The 109th Fighting Dragons Need You!
In the city of Marneri, it’s the annual thanksgiving for the century-old protections of the Great Spell – a time when common village dragons such as two-ton Bazil of Quosh and his strappy orphanboy, Relkin, prove themselves worthy of the Dragon Legions by fighting in the arenas. But there will be no celebration this year. The Dark Masters of Padmasa have renewed their efforts to dominate the human realms and annihilate the witch order that protects them. The kingdom’s only hope of survival is to assemble a new strike force of armored Battle Dragons and human partners to undertake a great quest and save their world.

I wholeheartedly concur. And the award winning movie is also very touching.

A wonderful book and film.

I will chime in to agree with all of the praise this book has received.

I will say, however, that I found the original short story from F&SF even more powerful. I haven't found that story in any ebook collections -- just paper. If anyone encounters it, please let me know.
