I will admit I was hooked on the Belgariad about 10 pages into Pawn of Prophecy back in late 1982 and recently reread the decalogy. |

The wind wends whither it wills. Carried along, it gave me chills. Dropped me yonder and then moved on. Lost at the doors of amazon.com.

I saw The Thing in the Stone in an Open Road Media daily ebook deals email.
I would like to point out that the Randall Garrett's Too Many Magicians as well as all of the short stories in the two Lord Darcy anthologies sold by Jabberwocky Literary Agency are included in the Baen book Lord Darcy from 2002, which unfortunately is no longer for sale. If you bought the ebook at Webscriptions when it was available, there is no reason to buy any of them now. |

Thanks! I thought you had some peculiar research algorithm as the books seemed quite random. Still there were a couple of very good suggestions.

Greg Bear's Dinosaur Summer is on sale for $2.99 at Amazon.
Remember Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's The Lost World, in which an expedition led by Professor George Edward Challenger discovered an Amazonian plateau where dinosaurs still roamed? In Dinosaur Summer, Greg Bear assumes that Challenger's expedition really took place, and that for nearly 50 years dinosaurs have been relatively commonplace in zoos and circuses throughout the world. But the beasts are not easily kept in captivity, and slowly but surely their numbers are dwindling. Now there is only one dinosaur circus left, and it's shutting down. The dinosaur trainer wants to return his animals to the wild, so an expedition is organized to return the dinos to their nearly inaccessible plateau. Accompanying the group (which includes special-effects master Ray Harryhausen) is 15-year-old Peter Belzoni, the son of the National Geographic photographer covering the story. The boy is about to have the adventure of a lifetime. |

The eight-volume Star Trek: Typhon Pact series is currently on sale for 99 cents each from Simon & Schuster and at other retailers. Some of the books haven't yet been discounted on Amazon, but they're getting there. (Three were discounted when I looked earlier today, two more have joined them since, and I have faith that the remaining three will follow soon. Yes, I've filed "lower price found" reports on them.)
Kobo US shows all eight on sale, but be wary of the three-book compilation that has not been discounted anywhere. |
