Sorry, I forgot that was a requirement. I forgot that I used a proxy for this (a machine in the US that I control.) You can do that with a VPN, if you trust it.

She Who Became the Sun by Shelley Parker-Chan is FREE in the UK (Kobo, Amazon)
Quote:
In a famine-stricken village on a dusty plain, a seer shows two children their fates. For a family’s eighth-born son, there’s greatness. For the second daughter, nothing.

In 1345, China lies restless under harsh Mongol rule. And when a bandit raid wipes out their home, the two children must somehow survive. Zhu Chongba despairs and gives in. But the girl resolves to overcome her destiny. So she takes on her dead brother’s identity – and begins her journey.

Can Zhu escape what is written in the stars, as rebellion sweeps the land? Can she claim her brother’s greatness – and rise, ruthlessly, to take the dragon throne?

Declare by Tim Powers is $2 in the US (Kobo, Amazon)
Quote:
As a young double agent infiltrating the Soviet spy network in Nazi-occupied Paris, Andrew Hale finds himself caught up in a secret, even more ruthless war. Two decades later, in 1963, he will be forced to confront again the nightmarethat has haunted his adult life: a lethal unfinished operation code-named Declare. From the corridors of Whitehall to the Arabian desert, from post-war Berlin to the streets of Cold War Moscow, Hale's desperate quest draws him into international politics and gritty espionage tradecraft -- and inexorably drives Hale, the fiery and beautiful Communist agent Elena Teresa Ceniza-Bendiga, and Kim Philby, mysterious traitor to the British cause, to a deadly confrontation on the high glaciers of Mount Ararat, in the very shadow of the fabulous and perilous Ark.

Otherwise: Three Novels by John Crowley is $3 in the US (Kobo, Amazon)
Contains The Deep, Beasts, and Engine Summer
Quote:
The Deep

In a twilight land, two warring powers -- the Reds and the Blacks -- play out an ancient game of murder and betrayal. Then a Visitor from beyond the sky arrives to play a part in this dark and bloody pageant. From the moment he is found by two women who tend to the dead in the wake of battles, it is clear that the great game is to change at last.

Beasts

It is the day after tomorrow, and society has been altered dramatically by experimentation that enables scientists to combine the genetic material of different species, mixing DNA of humans with animals. Loren Casaubon is an ethologist drawn into the political and social vortex that results with Leo -- a creature both man and lion -- at its center.

Engine Summer

A young man named Rush That Speaks is growing up in a far distant world -- one that only dimly remembers our own age, the wondrous age of the Angels, when men could fly. Now it is the "engine summer of the world," and Rush goes in search of the Saints who can teach him to speak truthfully, and be immortal in the stories he tells. The immortality that awaits him, though, is one he could not have imagined.

Vulcan's Hammer by Philip K. Dick is $2 in the US (Kobo, Amazon)
First time it's discounted.
Quote:

After the twentieth century’s devastating series of wars, the world’s governments banded together into one globe-spanning entity, committed to peace at all costs. Ensuring that peace is the Vulcan supercomputer, responsible for all major decisions. But some people don’t like being taken out of the equation. And others resent the idea that the Vulcan is taking the place of God. As the world grows ever closer to all-out war, one functionary frantically tries to prevent it. But the Vulcan computer has its own plans, plans that might not include humanity at all.

The Margarets by Sheri S. Tepper is $1 in the US (Kobo, Amazon)
Quote:
The myriad alien civilizations populating far, distant worlds have many good reasons to detest the blight called "humankind" . . .

The only human child living in a work colony on the Martian satellite Phobos, little Margaret Bain has invented six imaginary companions to keep boredom and loneliness at bay. Each an extension of her personality, they are lost to her when she is forced to return to Earth. But they are not gone.

The time will come when Margaret, fully grown and wed, must leave this dying world as well—this Earth so denuded by thoughtlessness and chemistry that its only viable export is slaves. For now Margarets are scattered throughout the galaxy. And their creator must bring her selves home . . . or watch the human race perish.

I just happened to pick this up before you posted it. I split it into the three separate books and used the beautiful old Bantam covers, same as I did for Little, Big.

This post has nice (but not large) scans of the covers: Vintage Treasures: The Bantam John Crowley

The Splinter in the Sky by Kemi Ashing-Giwa is $2 in the US (Kobo, Amazon)
Quote:
[...] about a young tea expert who is taken as a political prisoner and recruited to spy on government officials—a role that may empower her to win back her nation’s independence.

The dust may have just settled in the failed war of conquest between the Holy Vaalbaran Empire and the Ominirish Republic, but the last Emperor’s surrender means little to a lowly scribe like Enitan. All she wants is to quit her day job and expand her fledgling tea business. But when her lover is assassinated and her sibling is abducted by Imperial soldiers, Enitan abandons her idyllic plans and weaves her tea tray up through the heart of the Vaalbaran capital. There, she learns just how far she is willing to go to exact vengeance, free her sibling, and perhaps even secure her homeland’s freedom.

I read it a month or two ago, it's really good. Still on sale and well worth picking up. You don't have to have read all the previous novellas, but it'll help if you have. Besides, they're all great fun to read, so you should totally read them all.

The events in this novel follows directly after Network Effect (Murderbot #5), and I would definitely recommend reading it before. I read System collapse a couple of months ago and didn't enjoy it very much. I think I would have enjoyed it more if I re-read Network effect before, as my memory is terrible and there's not much explanation or reminders of the the previous novels.

I agree System Collapse is really good, but I also agree that it helped to have read the previous book not too long ago.

Of course, Murderbot's fine touch in snark doesn't require any previous knowledge to appreciate

Gryphon in Light by Mercedes Lackey and Larry Dixon is £2.89 at Amazon UK today.

This is the first in the new Grphyons in Light trilogy, and her 41st (by my counting) Valdemar book.
