UK Kindle Summer Sale
The first 4 in the Clovenhoof (5 Book Series) by Heide Goody & Iain Grant are 99p https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/...ies_rw_dp_labf From Book 1: Charged with gross incompetence, Satan is fired from his job as Prince of Hell and exiled to that most terrible of places: English suburbia. Forced to live as a human under the name of Jeremy Clovenhoof, the dark lord not only has to contend with the fact that no one recognises him or gives him the credit he deserves but also has to put up with the bookish wargamer next door and the voracious man-eater upstairs. Heaven, Hell and the city of Birmingham collide in a story that features murder, heavy metal, cannibalism, armed robbers, devious old ladies, Satanists who live with their mums, gentlemen of limited stature, dead vicars, petty archangels, flamethrowers, sex dolls, a blood-soaked school assembly and way too much alcohol. |

I'm starting to get really turned off by maritime fiction loosely translated to space. And of course, the following author note: "If the plot seemed familiar, it's because it was based on the famous Jamaican Mutiny of 1753." (replace with any infamous historical naval event). |

LOL.
It's been a while since I've read the books, but I recall some decent physics in the Chanur series... and some of David Brin's work, as I dimly recall... it's been like three decades since I last picked up Startide Rising. |

Full Moon Rising by Keri Arthur (Riley Jenson Guardian Book 1) is $2.99 in the US
https://www.amazon.com/Full-Rising-R.../dp/B000FCKNNM https://store.kobobooks.com/en-us/eb...-moon-rising-2 Not sure if this belongs more here or in the romance thread but it seems to be classed in fantasy for various booksellers A rare hybrid of vampire and werewolf, Riley Jenson and her twin brother, Rhoan, work for Melbourne's Directorate of Other Races, an organisation created to police the supernatural races - and protect humans from their depredations. While Rhoan is an exalted guardian, aka assassin, Riley is merely an office worker - until her brother goes missing on one of his missions. The timing couldn't be worse. More werewolf than vampire, Riley is vulnerable to the moon heat, the weeklong period before the full moon, when her need to mate becomes all-consuming... Luckily Riley has two willing partners to satisfy her every need. But she will have to control her urges if she's going to find her brother. For someone is doing some illegal cloning in an attempt to produce the ultimate warrior - by tapping into the genome of nonhumans like Rhoan. Now Riley knows just how dangerous the world is for her kind - and just how much it needs her. |

I never thought about this much, but you posting that made me realize something.
In the Star Trek reboot movies, fans have criticized the ship design, saying the bulgy nacelles look like a souped-up hot rod, not a spaceship. And of course, in the first movie as they're to leave space dock, the ship doesn't move at first. Captain Pike asks Sulu "Is the parking brake on?" (And it turns out that, yes, basically the parking brake was on.) So in the new movies it's really IS a hot rod, not a naval vessel. ![]() Looks like the eBook was published last September too, almost a year ago. Not sure that bodes well for the future books getting put into eBook format. |
