For anyone who got this version or plans to in the future: I briefly compared it to my physical copy, and while it looks 98% good, there are a number of places where they missed italicizing words. For free I can deal with it, but for more cash, be aware of what you're buying.
There's really no point in paying for an unauthorised copy. Of course, sometimes it's not obvious that it's unauthorised.

IMO, Amazon should do a better job of checking for unauthorised versions of books.

It's at Kobo too, so I don't know what's going on with these versions.

Amazon U.S. has a great many of the "Richard Sharp" series from Bernard Cornwall on sale for $1.99 each... too many to provide links. I have never seen so many offered at once.

Lonesome Dove by Larry McMurtry is £2 in the UK (Kobo, Amazon)
Classic Pulitzer Prize Winning Western. First in a series (in publication order).
Quote:
A love story, an adventure, and an epic of the frontier, Lonesome Dove is the grandest novel ever written about the last defiant wilderness of America.

Journey to the dusty little Texas town of Lonesome Dove and meet an unforgettable assortment of heroes and outlaws, whores and ladies, Indians and settlers. Richly authentic, beautifully written, always dramatic, Lonesome Dove is a book to make us laugh, weep, dream, and remember.

Redcoat by Bernard Cornwell - $1.99
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07RDKJJV9

Quote:
It is autumn 1777, and the cradle of liberty, Philadelphia, has fallen to the British. Yet the true battle has only just begun.

On both sides, loyalties are tested and families torn asunder. The young Redcoat Sam Gilpin has seen his brother die. Now he must choose between duty to a distant king and the call of his own conscience. And for the men and women of the prosperous Becket family, the Revolution brings bitter conflict between those loyal to the crown and those with dreams of liberty.

Soon, across the fields of ice and blood in a place called Valley Forge, history will be rewritten, changing the lives and fortunes of these men and women forever.

A free historical novel from Joffe Books...

Of Relics and Romance, first in the Hotspur series by Evan Ostryzniuk
Kindle US: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01G5RONL8
Kindle UK: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01G5RONL8

Spoiler:
Quote:
The Christian Crusades against the Saracen ‘heathens’ are on hold after its chief instrument of missionary and military zeal, the Order of the Knights Templar, have been discredited and disbanded.

But the threat remains.

Amid an atmosphere of suspicion, representatives of the warring kings of England and France meet to try to agree a truce and ‘take up the Cross’ together against a common heathen enemy.

Lancastrian noble John of Gaunt is the English side’s negotiator and aspiring knight Hotspur is there trying to prove his worth as guardian of one of the duke’s prized sacred relics – the Finger of St Bernard of Clairvaux, a French monk and fervent promoter of the Second Crusade. It’s an age where the owners of such grisly remains are thereby believed to be endowed with superhuman powers.

Like many a red-blooded young man, Geoffrey aspires to join the courtly circle with its entourage of beautiful women – and is soon seduced by the physical charms of Inge, the handmaiden of a powerful French lady.

But of course there’s more to siren Inge than meets the eye – and Geoffrey quickly finds out she’s on a mission which could wreck his ambitions.

Ostryzniuk’s novel is an elegant restatement that history is a continuum, part of the present, that ‘the more things change, the more they are the same’. It also uncovers real human hearts beating once the dust of the past has been blown away.
