The reduction appears to apply to US & Canada only, but the ebook is available in most of the rest of the world. I checked Germany and Mexico, (Australia doesn't have it). Last edited by Little.Egret; 10-29-2016 at 08:08 PM. |

That would fit - what I see are Baen editions. I wonder who does have the UK rights; Penguin does't seem to have her listed.

Same with a even better author, Lois McMaster Bujold. Her agent sold UK rights to many of her books but every time the imprint shortly vanished or failed or dropped her. Hallowed Hunt only appeared in a book club edition. Elizabeth Moon OTOH has had all of her books in both US and UK editions. Perhaps her early collaboration with Anne McCaffrey (Sassinak, recommended) helped assure reasonable UK sales. |

A number of the tor.com novellas are on sale for 99¢ at some of the US etailers right now.
Here's a price-sorted search on tor.com from Amazon US. I confirmed that some of these were 99¢ at Kobo also. The titles on sale include: The Last Witness by K. J. Parker Of Sorrow and Such by Angela Slatter Sunset Mantle by Alter S. Reiss The Shootout Solution: Genrenauts Episode 1 by Michael R. Underwood Domnall and the Borrowed Child by Sylvia Spruck Wrigley The Emperor's Railroad (The Dreaming Cities) by Guy Haley The Drowning Eyes by Emily Foster Patchwerk by David Tallerman Pieces of Hate (The Assassins Series) by Tim Lebbon The only one of these I've read (and enjoyed) is Of Sorrow and Such. Off the top of my head, I've read at least four others from the imprint, and I'll definitely scoop up several more now. I'm not aware of any of these titles being prior Tor giveaways, but they have given away others directly from tor.com, and the novellas are also sold in bundles, so you may want to check your library rather than rely on your etailer to warn of a prior purchase. |

A couple of titles for Halloween:
Barbara Hambly's Blood Maidens is $2.99 at Amazon US and Kobo. I know this has been on sale before, not sure how recently. This is the third in a series, the first two can be had from Open Road. I've read this, along with most of Hambly's other work. Description: Spoiler:
Also, Kevin David Anderson's Night of the Living Trekkies is $1.99 at Amazon US and Kobo. I haven't read this one, but if you like Trek and/or zombies it's worth a click through just to check out the cover. Description: Spoiler:

For you Stephen R. Donaldson fans, The Mirror of Her Dreams is currently $1.99 at Amazon.com.
Unfortunately, they are extorting the second book in the series for $11.99, but one can hope that they put that one on sale at a later date. .... also, Clifford D. Simak's A Heritage of Stars is also $1.99. Last edited by Dngrsone; 10-30-2016 at 07:03 PM. |
