The Swords of Lankhmar, book 5 in Fritz Leiber's Fafhrd and Grey Mouser series, is on sale at Amazon US for $1.99.
That's 6 down, 1 to go for me, all for $1.99 each. (I'm not worried about the one that Lieber didn't write.) |

IIRC, technically they always offer the Other option for Country on the page, and they don't seem to check and quite probably don't even care where the newsletter signups are coming from. But officially, it's actually excluded from Quebec, even (and ironically, a decent-sized chunk of their potential tween audience), according to the fine print under “Please read the Special Offer Terms below”: Quote:

Anyway, a few more Open Road Media bargains available in Canada and possibly other countries outside the US, which usually don't get their pricedrops, which don't seem to have been mentioned yet: @ $1.99 (couponable/VIP discount eligible @ Kobo, prices should be the same at most retailers in a given region):
@ $2.99:

In case anyone's interested, a five-book Star Trek series called "The Fall" is currently on sale for 99 cents each. This appears to be a publisher discount, as it's available on both Amazon US and Kobo US, but I haven't checked other vendors. If that's the case, it's likely good through the end of the year.
"The Fall" is a TNG/DS9 crossover series that takes place after the "Typhon Pact" events, continuing the post-Nemesis timeline. I'm not up on the Pact, but apparently the former Terok Nor gets destroyed somewhere along the line, and so "The Fall" picks up with a new Federation-built DS9 station. The main plot appears to be driven by an existential threat to the Andorians. |

1636: The Vatican Sanction (Ring of Fire Book 24) 5 Dec 2017 by Eric Flint and Charles E. Gannon https://www.amazon.co.uk/1636-Vatica...dp/B077KKVR8D/ It’s spring in Burgundy. The flowers are out and so are the cardinals—of Pope Urban’s renegade papacy, now on the run from the Vatican’s would-be usurper Borja. Most of the Church’s senior leaders have converged upon the city of Besancon, where the Pope plans to offer an ecumenical olive branch to the other Christian denominations with which Rome has been at war. Fortunately, Urban has up-time help. He can rely upon Cardinal-Protector Larry Mazzare’s theological savvy, Sharon Nichols’ medical skills, and her husband Ruy Sanchez’s keen-eyed experience as a body-guard-in-chief.

Bargain @ $1.99 in the US only from Houghton Mifflin Harcount's Mariner Books imprint (couponable/VIP discount eligible @ Kobo; should otherwise be the same price at other stores):
Peace on Earth by the late Polish author Stanisław Lem (Wikipedia), an apparently somewhat satirical science fiction novel starring his Ijon Tichy character (Wikipedia). Ijon Tichy is the only human who knows for sure whether the self-programming robots on the moon are plotting a terrestrial invasion. But a highly focused ray severs his corpus collosum. Now his left brain can’t remember the secret and his uncooperative right brain won’t tell. Tichy struggles for control of the lost memory and of his own two warring sides. Translated by Elinor Ford with Michael Kandel. Also @ $2.99 US (non-couponable)/$3.99 CAD (couponable, and one of the rare sale books they bother to make available to us nowadays) from Mariner: Bannerless by Carrie Vaughn (Wikipedia; author of the long-running Kitty Norville urban fantasies and also a recent Hugo Award finalist for a short story I rather liked), the 1st novel in her Bannerless Saga, which is apparently a murder mystery set in a future dystopia. A mysterious murder in a dystopian future leads a novice investigator to question what she’s learned about the foundation of her population-controlled society. Decades after economic and environmental collapse destroys much of civilization in the United States, the Coast Road region isn’t just surviving but thriving by some accounts, building something new on the ruins of what came before. A culture of population control has developed in which people, organized into households, must earn the children they bear by proving they can take care of them and are awarded symbolic banners to demonstrate this privilege. In the meantime, birth control is mandatory. Enid of Haven is an Investigator, called on to mediate disputes and examine transgressions against the community. She’s young for the job and hasn't yet handled a serious case. Now, though, a suspicious death requires her attention. The victim was an outcast, but might someone have taken dislike a step further and murdered him? In a world defined by the disasters that happened a century before, the past is always present. But this investigation may reveal the cracks in Enid’s world and make her question what she really stands for. |
