This popped up in my eReaderIQ yesterday, and looks like the sale is still going.

https://www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/the-budayeen-cycle
https://www.amazon.com/Budayeen-Cycl...dp/B0741QZVZ7/

The Budayeen Cycle by George Alec Effinger, which includes:
  • When Gravity Fails
  • A Fire in the Sun
  • The Exile Kiss

Price: $4.99 (approx. $1.66 per book)

Synopsis:
Quote:
The complete Hugo and Nebula Award–nominated cyberpunk trilogy by an author whose work is “wry and black and savage” (George R. R. Martin).

Praised as “a perfect example of how exciting the subgenre can and should be,” George Alec Effinger’s Budayeen Cycle is a towering and timeless science fiction achievement that continues to amaze, shock, and captivate readers (SF Signal).

When Gravity Fails: Set in a high-tech near future featuring an ascendant Muslim world and divided Western superpowers, this cult classic takes readers into a world with mind- or mood-altering drugs for any purpose, brains enhanced by electronic hardware, and surgically altered bodies. Street hustler Marîd Audran has always prided himself on his independence, free from commitments, connections, and even cybernetic modifications. But when a string of brutal murders lands him on the radar of Friedlander Bey, the most powerful and dangerous man in the decadent Arab ghetto, the Budayeen, Audran is forced to change his loner ways, or risk losing his life . . .

A Fire in the Sun: Once a small-time smuggler, Marîd Audran has, to his chagrin, moved up in the ranks of the criminal underworld to become a lieutenant in Friedlander Bey’s shadowy empire. Tasked with being Bey’s eyes and ears inside local law enforcement, Audran finds himself tracking yet another serial killer through the streets of the Budayeen. And the closer he gets to his target, the more embroiled he becomes in the deadly political machinations hidden behind the city’s façade.

The Exile Kiss: Marîd Audran is finally learning to appreciate the wealth and benefits that come from being on Friedlander Bey’s payroll when a powerful enemy does the unthinkable, and gets both Audran and Bey exiled from the Budayeen. Abandoned in the lifeless and lethal Arabian Desert, Audran and Bey have only one option: survive long enough to exact revenge on the man responsible.
I've not read it, but I could always use more Cyberpunk.

I bought the three individual books. Your all-in-one is a better deal.

And the discount usually gets lower than $5, so wait if you can.

A whole bunch of Tolkien books are $1.99 and up right now at Kindle US as part of "Tolkien Reading Day". And the "and up" isn't too bad - many of them really are $1.99, and most or all of the rest are $2.99.

Everyone on this thread who wants them probably has them, but just in case, here are links - to the sale page at Kindle US, and a link to a search on Tolkien at Kobo US, where I spot-checked a few, and prices seem to be pretty similar. I didn't check exhaustively to see if all were exactly the same, so YMMV.

Ascension by Nicholas Binge is $2 in the US (Kobo, Amazon)
Recommended by Stephen King.
Locus review by Gabino Iglesias.
Quote:
A mind-bending speculative thriller in which the sudden appearance of a mountain in the middle of the Pacific Ocean leads a group of scientists to a series of revelations that challenge the notion of what it means to be human

The only way out is up. . .

An enormous snow-covered mountain has appeared in the Pacific Ocean. No one knows when exactly it showed up, precisely how big it might be, or how to explain its existence. When Harold Tunmore is contacted by a shadowy organization to help investigate, he has no idea what he is getting into as he and his team set out for the mountain.

The higher Harold’s team ascends, the less things make sense. Time moves differently, turning minutes into hours, and hours into days. Amid the whipping cold of higher elevation, the climbers’ limbs numb and memories of their lives before the mountain begin to fade. Paranoia quickly turns to violence among the crew, and slithering, ancient creatures pursue them in the snow. Still, as the dangers increase, the mystery of the mountain compels them to its peak, where they are certain they will find their answers. Have they stumbled upon the greatest scientific discovery known to man or the seeds of their own demise?

Framed by the discovery of Harold Tunmore’s unsent letters to his family and the chilling and provocative story they tell, Ascension considers the limitations of science and faith and examines both the beautiful and the unsettling sides of human nature.
