The Mongoliad, Books 1-3 for 99¢ Each – Today Only! Posted at 11:25 AM by Dave Post

The Mongoliad:  Book One The Mongoliad:  Book Two The Mongoliad: Book Three

This is a sweetheart of a deal for Kindle readers.  All three volumes of the Mongoliad for under a buck each.  From the synopsis of Vol. 1:

“…a small band of warriors and mystics raise their swords to save Europe from a bloodthirsty Mongol invasion. Inspired by their leader (an elder of an order of warrior monks), they embark on a perilous journey and uncover the history of hidden knowledge and conflict among powerful secret societies that had been shaping world events for millennia.

But the saga reaches the modern world via a circuitous route. In the late 19th century, Sir Richard F. Burton, an expert on exotic languages and historical swordsmanship, is approached by a mysterious group of English martial arts aficionados about translating a collection of long-lost manuscripts. Burton dies before his work is finished, and his efforts were thought lost until recently rediscovered by a team of amateur archaeologists in the ruins of a mansion in Trieste, Italy. From this collection of arcana, the incredible tale of The Mongoliad was recreated.

Ben Bova for the UK Posted at 12:04 AM by Rico Simpkins

WWEnd monitors Amazon’s Daily Deals, and if we see a good deal on SF/F/H books, we usually tweet it. Sometimes, we see one that is so good, it’s blog worthy.  Today’s UK deal is one of those.  If you live in the United Kingdom, you can get any of five Ben Bova novels for £0.99 each.

Four of these books are part of the Grand Tour series. They’re pretty much random volumes, so it’s a good thing they were meant to be read in no particular order. Here they are:

Mars
Moonwar
Return to Mars
Moonrise

The fifth book, Voyagers III, is part of the Voyagers series, which probably will require reading the first two books.

Snag a Hugo nominated novel in this crazy two-fer deal! Posted at 3:29 PM by Rico Simpkins

The Dragon's PathLeviathan Wakes
Normally, when we see a Hugo and Locus nominated author like Daniel Abraham has had one of his books discounted to $3 on Kindle, we find that tweet-worthy (follow us on @WWEnd to find those kind of deals).  When we found that The Dragon’s Path (book one of his Dagger and the Coin series) comes bundled with last year’s Hugo nominated Leviathan Wakes (co-written with Ty Franck under the pseudonym of James S. A. Corey), 2012Bookmarkswe decided to put this on the blog STAT.

By the way, when I got our Leviathan Wakes bookmark signed by both authors at last year’s Worldcon, I had one sign James and the other sign Corey.  I’m pretty sure I’m the only one with that signature (at least they told me I was the first who asked for it that way).  Have I just ruined my unique status by letting that slip?  Damnit.
