There's a price drop on David Wishart's Marcus Corvinus series over at Amazon:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/search/?...price-asc-rank

They range from 99p to £2.99. I personally didn't like the few I read (I didn't find them very accurate compared to Steven Saylor or John Maddox Roberts), but others may like them.

The Reluctant Fundamentalist by Mohsin Hamid is on deal of the day at 99p. I found it quite a gripping read when I got it originally.

Baptism of Fire (book 4)
The Tower of the Swallow (is this the same as The Swallow's Tower?) (book 5)

Smashwords Read an Ebook sale is on for the next week:
https://www.smashwords.com/books/category/1/newest/1

It'll be mostly dreck with the occasional gem. Your best bet is to search by author or to apply the filters as required (and be prepared to wade through pages). Once you've done an initial run through, you can display by newest added (more titles will be added throughout the week).

There's a new Storybundle posted - Feminist Futures:

https://storybundle.com/scifi?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=feministfutures

The only 2 authors I've heard of are Rosemary Kirstein (The Steerswoman which I already have and isn't bad) and Vonda N McIntyre (which are of mild interest but as I'm not desperate to get my hands on them I won't bother).

Deadly Election by Lindsey Davis (Flavia Albia 6) is currently 99p on Amazon.co.uk:

https://smile.amazon.co.uk/Deadly-Election-Flavia-Albia-Generation-ebook/dp/B00OOQJAO8/?tag=mr061-21

A Spell for Chameleon by Piers Anthony (Xanth #1) is 99p:

https://smile.amazon.co.uk/dp/B000FBFOFU/?tag=mr061-21

The Davis I already have (I’ll pay full price for Davis and have just pre-ordered #6 Pandora’s Boy), but the Anthony I shall pass on - as I recall, the first 2 or 3 were OK, but I started getting uncomfortable with the series as they started getting a trifle misogynistic.

Next of Charlie Stross' Laundry Books due in October 2018: "The Labyrinth Index". Nyarlathotep as PM.
Maybe we should give him a try as none of the current lot across the house seem a good option.
