The official deals page has been updated. Besides the above-mentioned books, Mind Meld by John Vornholt is on the list.
Cool! Thanks! I’d already gone over to Amazon and bought the others so I probably wouldn’t have noticed Mind Meld if you hadn’t mentioned it here. —David Young
There might be more added later, but Amazon appears to have some of the August sale books marked down already. Looks like the focus this month is the DTI! Here's what I'm seeing at the moment: Final Frontier, by Diane Carey Deep Space Nine: Hollow Men, by Una McCormack DTI: Watching the Clock, by Christopher L. Bennett DTI: Forgotten History, by Christopher L. Bennett DTI: The Collectors, by Christopher L. Bennett DTI: Time Lock, by Christopher L. Bennett DTI: Shield of the Gods, by Christopher L. Bennett
Also on offer this month: TOS: Agents of Influence by Dayton Ward VGR: The Farther Shore by Christie Golden
They're letting me off easy this month, as I have the ones I am interested in. The DTI series and Hollow Men are definitely worth looking at if you have not read them.
Just completed my Department of Temporal Investigations collection, final three books, for £2.97! Thanks all for listing these. Can I just check the DS9 book isn't part of the post-Nemesis timeline is it?
You can go to eBooks.com US and use that to buy any Star Trek eBooks you cannot find in the UK. You can use PayPal to pay for your eBooks.
I have no idea how long this price will last, but the Vulcan and Klingon Empire travel guides by Dayton Ward are $4 each right now on Amazon.
Thanks. Finished my DTI and post home Voyager books. Hopefully not too tainted by the unmitigated misstep that was coda and some of the other last few years of relaunch books. (It’s really made me hesitant to go near any trek book published in about the last twenty years. All of them are so soured, and browsing today it’s left me really *really* regretting ever buying them. If they had just been cancelled, it would have been fine, but knowing that story is there just cast them all into a bad place. There’s only a few authors from that era I will ever bother reading again) Sadly I think I missed out on the old school TOS ones… they don’t seem to be reduced in the UK store.
Christopher, do the DTI books sit as part of the novelverse/reboot series? If I've not read any of the post-Nemesis stuff am I going to be lost?
Watching the Clock does draw heavily on the continuity established in the Destiny trilogy. But in general, there's no reason to be lost if a story refers to stories you haven't seen, because it's part of the storyteller's job to give you signposts, as it were -- to provide exposition about what you need to know to follow the story. After all, most stories refer to events the reader/viewer didn't already know about. The very first Star Trek story ever written, "The Cage," is driven by events the viewers never see, the battle on Rigel VII and the death of Pike's yeoman and two others. But it explains that those events are the reason Pike is racked with self-doubt, Spock is limping, etc. One of the basic rules of writing is never to assume that your readers already know something. If there's something they need to know to understand the story, then you restate it within the story.
Ok, I’m starting to get excited again, wondering what the September deal price ebooks will be! —David Y.
