Outpost by W. Michael Gear is $1.99 at Amazon, B&N and Kobo US.

Quote:
Donovan is a world of remarkable wealth, a habitable paradise of a planet. It sounds like a dream come true. But Donovan's wealth comes at a price.

When the ship Turalon arrives in orbit, Supervisor Kalico Aguila discovers a failing colony, its government overthrown and the few remaining colonists now gone wild. Donovan offers the chance of a lifetime, one that could leave her the most powerful woman in the solar system. Or dead.

Planetside, Talina Perez is one of three rulers of the Port Authority colony—the only law left in the one remaining town on Donovan. With the Corporate ship demanding answers about the things she's done in the name of survival, Perez could lose everything, including her life.

For Dan Wirth, Donovan is a last chance. A psychopath with a death sentence looming over his head, he can't wait to set foot on Port Authority. He will make one desperate play to grab a piece of the action—no matter who he has to corrupt, murder, or destroy.

Captain Max Taggart has been The Corporation's "go-to" guy when it comes to brutal enforcement. As the situation in Port Authority deteriorates, he'll be faced with tough choices to control the wild Donovanians. Only Talina Perez stands in his way.

Just as matters spiral out of control, a ghost ship, the Freelander, appears in orbit. Missing for two years, she arrives with a crew dead of old age, and reeks of a bizarre death-cult ritual that deters any ship from attempting a return journey. And in the meantime, a brutal killer is stalking all of them, for Donovan plays its own complex and deadly game. The secrets of which are hidden in Talina Perez's very blood.

It looks like the Donovan series currently has six books. Does anyone know if further sequels are planned?

Based on previous experience with the Gears, as long as the books sell, there will be more.

Thanks for the warning. I guess I'll wait to see if it gets a proper conclusion or unending filler before I decide whether to invest my time in the series.

I picked up Heretics in 2021 so will probably discount some time this year.

Darn, I missed it then! Hopefully I'll notice the next time it hits sale, since it's the only one I need of the original six.

Would you say the first six Dune novels are of equal quality, or is it one of those series that declines over time?

The first is fantastic. The next two are really good. I have not read the next three but I gather they are very strange.

I have strong affection for God Emperor of Dune, it's my favorite of the series. I find the first three to be similar in quality, the 4th is the best, and I didn't really enjoy the 5th and 6th much.

I last read those last two in high school; I should probably pull them out again and give them another try as an adult.

Elfstones of Shannara, the second book in the Shannara series, is on sale at Amazon for $1.99.

There was an omnibus of the first trilogy on sale a while ago, so make sure you don't already have that.

No-one posted the Tad Williams Humble Bundle, so I will.
https://www.humblebundle.com/books/t...d-beyond-books

$18 for 21 books, redeemable @ Kobo.
Includes most of his novels, including the most recent trilogy The Last King of Osten Ard trilogy which was a followup to Memory, Sorrow & Thorn.
