:shrug:Not finding "dozens." Just the Gateways books...

Well, I have:
Double Helix Omnibus, TOS: Timetrap, Day of Honor Omnibus, TNG: Kahless, TNG: Dyson Sphere, DS9: Rebels miniseries, TOS: Gemini, DS9: Saratoga, DS9: The Search; TNG: Descent .....and more.

I'm using amazon.com in the U.S.

Anybody else seeing this? Or am I just bonkers? :shrug:

Okay, when I go searching one title at a time, I do find those, for $0.99. I just can't seem to find an actual reasonable search terms that turn them all up in one list...

I do this: Use category Kindle Store - search for 'star trek'. When results come up, sort by Price Low to High, then make sure to click "Showing most relevant results. See all results for star trek."
 
Ah. That's exactly what I did before... except for that last step. Apparently it makes all the difference. Thanks! (Heaven only knows how Amazon's algorithms decide to filter things down to its "relevant results"...)
 
I did a search a couple days ago just to see if Amazon was pulling another random sale, but no luck. Now this one's happening. There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason for what gets discounted, and the quality of this month's offerings pales in comparison to the beginning-of-June grab bag, but I clicked through 60 pages of search results (so you don't have to) and found the following for 99 cents each:

TOS #40: Timetrap
TOS: New Earth #6: Challenger
TOS: Errand of Vengeance #1: The Edge of the Sword
TOS: Errand of Vengeance #3: River of Blood
TOS: Gemini
TNG #50: Dyson Sphere
TNG #51-56: Double Helix Omnibus
TNG: Kahless
TNG: Descent
DS9: The Search
DS9: Legends of the Ferengi
DS9 #18: Saratoga
DS9: Rebels #1: The Conquered
DS9: Rebels #2: The Courageous
DS9: Rebels #3: The Liberated
The Captain's Table #5: Once Burned
Day of Honor Omnibus


And if you like non-novels, you can pick up Adventures in Time and Space (a proto-Voyages of Imagination) for 99 cents and Star Trek: The Next Generation 365 for $1.20.
 
Wow, pretty major sale! I already have a huge backlog but adding over 20 books to the collection for a buck each is a no brainer.
 
Wow, seriously? I confess I know diddly about that one. What makes it stand out?...
It takes a number of threads Peter David established in earlier New Frontier novels and uses them to add dimension to a lead character who all too often felt shallow. Plot-wise...well, I'm rarely startled by developments in Trek novels, but Once Burned was an exception. I read it in a single sitting.

You could read it as an intro to New Frontier, as it's mostly a prequel, but it's better read after you've gone through the first few books.

Peter David is pretty good with characterization. It is about an officer's personal morals clashing against Starfleet rules. I'd also recommend Strike Zone and A Rock and a Hard Place (where we have Quinton Stone, the proto-Mackenzie Calhoun).

I went ahead and bought it for the Kindle. Can't do much better than ninety-nine cents!

That's how I found them on the Nook store, too. I'm pretty sure I saw all the titles that @historypeats listed. Also a couple of the YA novels, from TNG and the Kelvin timeline. Great deals, even if some of the titles are far down on my "want to read" list...

I found the Kelvin one (The Assassination Game), but what TNG YA are you seeing?
 
I have to admit, I was kind of shocked to see the old '90s YA books digitized. I loved them as a kid, but I was never sure how popular they were, or how aware fans are of them today. I'm not sure, would they be YA or middle grade?
 
Has there been any complete series sales on New Frontier? I just bought a couple for ninety-nine cents, but the prices are all over the place.
