    I have to say that The Captain's Table #4: Fire Ship was an excellent book. The best of the Captain's Table books and a really good book in its own right. It features Captain Janeway. So if you've not read it, give it a go. You won't regret it.

    So far, I have found the Errand of Fury trilogy from TOS and the Destiny books for 99 cents as far as regular books.

    Also, there is a Star Trek Lessons in Leadership book and a compilation of Seven of Nine scripts from Voyager compiled into a book called Becoming Human also available for 99 cents.

    Additionally, the second Department of Temporal Investigations novel, Forgotten History, is on sale for some reason at $1.99. That's the only novel besides the Destiny and Errand of Fury trilogies that hasn't previously gone on sale. Amazon has also taken to randomly discounting grab-bag lists of novels something later in each month's first week, so I'll keep my eyes out for those.

    One note of caution: if you're searching "Star Trek" in the Kindle Store, sorting Price: Low to High, and clicking on "All Results," there's something called "Star Trek: Lost Frontier" by an Eric Busby that is using the No Limits anthology's cover as its artwork. It was posted on July 14th, 2018, and clearly isn't legitimate. Don't give that guy money by mistake!

    The Delta Anomaly from the Kelvin Starfleet Academy series is also $.99. Those books don’t show up if you search for Star Trek.

    Yeah, the site says the current sales are until August 1st, so I'd imagine Crucible would go on the 2nd; however, I think there has been some overlap in the past.

    In addition to Destiny, the Canadian Kobo site also has the Errand of Fury books on for 0.99 too, and it doesn't usually include the US-Amazon exclusive sales, only the ones from S&S as part of the promotion. So I'm wondering if maybe Errand of Fury replaced Crucible as the other August sale, sometime after the promo page was taken down?

    Damn. I think you're right. Was looking forward to picking up Crucuble...

    Fingers crossed that they show up later on in the year.

    Well maybe I don't have to buy any this time around. Already have Destiny and Errand of Fury series wasn't that great?? I was looking forward to Crucible as well, but have already read those anyways.

    I'm kind of on the fence regarding Errand of Fury. Are they any good?

    You should probably let Amazon know about that so they can pull it.

    A few new 99 cent deals, not sure for how long.

    Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home, To The Stars: The Autobiography of George Takei, and The Rings of Time (TOS) are 99 cents as of this post.
