Thanks, maddz, that's exactly my meaning, and your reply is very helpful. I think I'll give them a miss - they don't sound like my cup of tea .

The Lost Fleet: Fearless by Jack Campbell (The Lost Fleet #2) is currently $1.99 in the US
Book 1 (Dauntless) is priced at $2.99 but I am unsure if that is its regular price or if it is also discounted https://www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/the...fleet-fearless https://www.amazon.com/Lost-Fleet-Fe.../dp/B000SEGULG Captain John “Black Jack” Geary tries a desperate gamble to lead the Alliance Fleet home through enemy-occupied space in this novel in the thrilling Lost Fleet series. Geary is convinced that the Syndics are planning to ambush the fleet and finish it off once and for all. Realizing the fleet’s best (and only) chance is to do the unexpected, Geary takes the offensive and orders the fleet to the Sancere system. There, a multitude of possible routes home give the Alliance fleet a better chance of avoiding their pursuers—and an attack on the Sancere shipbuilding facilities could decimate the Syndic war effort. Weary from endless combat, the officers and crew of the Alliance fleet can’t see the sense in charging deeper into enemy territory—prompting a mutiny that divides them, and leaving Geary with the odds higher against him than ever before... |

The Heir of Night (The Wall of Night Book One) by Helen Lowe is currently 99c in the US
This was previously discounted some time ago and I bought it then and enjoyed it and bought and read books 2 and 3 in the series and am waiting for the last in quartet to come out. https://www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/the-heir-of-night-1 https://www.amazon.com/Heir-Night-Wa.../dp/B003V1WSL4 “A richly told tale of strange magic, dark treachery, and conflicting loyalties, set in a well realized world.” —Robin Hobb, author of Dragon Keeper A DARK ENEMY. AN ANCIENT WAR. A NEW CHAMPION. Young Malian is being trained to rule. Her people garrison the mountain range known as the Wall of Night against an ancient enemy, keeping a tide of shadow from the rest of their world. Malian is expected to uphold this tradition, yet she's known little of real danger until the enemy attacks her fortress home and the Keep of Winds becomes a bloodbath. Malian flees deep into the Old Keep - and when the danger is greatest her own hidden magic flares into life. But if she accepts its power, she must prepare to pay the price. |

Born to the Undercity, the slums below the City of Cries on the planet Raylicon, she broke free from crushing poverty and crime to become a military officer with Imperial Space Command. Now retired from military duty, she walks the mean streets of Undercity as a private investigator. And she is about to embark on her most challenging case yet. Summoned by no less than the Ruby Pharaoh herself, Major Bhaajan is tasked with finding a killer. But this is no ordinary murderer. The Ruby Pharaoh witnessed a Jagernaut cut down Assembly Councilor Tap Benton—which shouldn’t have been possible. The Jagernauts are the elite of the elite soldiers in the Imperial Space Command. What’s more, the spinal node implanted in all Jagernauts should have prevented the murder. But the Ruby Pharaoh is sure of what she saw, and she has reason to believe that the Jagernaut will kill again. Major Bhaajan first appeared in Undercity (also Baen) £4.85 https://www.amazon.co.uk/Undercity-M...dp/B00PP2B9YE/ Two-time Nebula award winner Catherine Asaro has an M.A. in physics and a Ph.D. in chemical physics from Harvard. |

I didn't get the meaning. Perhaps a misspelling?
Could it be "mist-looks"? |
