Right now, I'm seeing the following for $1.99:

Ishmael
Strangers From the Sky
Masks

For $2.99:

Hidden Universe Travel Guide: The Klingon Empire

If you have been sleeping on Strangers From the Sky in previous sales, do consider it again. It is one of the best Trek novels out there.

Rolling them out slowly this month, it seems. Now they've added:

TOS #13: The Wounded Sky
TOS #80: The Joy Machine
TOS: Savage Trade
TNG #36: Into the Nebula
DS9: Ascendance
 
Since the last update, they've also now added:

TOS #25: Dwellers in the Crucible

I think this is now, what, the third month in a row that there has been nothing new that hasn't previously been offered? There are still so many others out there that have never been on sale (at least here in Canada), so it would be nice to see some new ones crop up again.

I can kinda understand what you mean, been a few months since I've gotten any new Trek books on sale, but it also gives me a breather plus gives me the chance to pick up some other non-Trek stuff to read, plus people new to these sales can fill out their collections as a lot of us have.

There's only been one Titan book, I think "Sword of Damocles", that hasn't gone for sale. I'm waiting for the "A Time To..." books as well.
 
So these aren't novels, but a company called Fanatical has apparently partnered with IDW to sell bundles of the digital versions of the IDW Star Trek comics for a substantially discounted price. I don't think I've heard of Fanatical before today, but they seem to be like Humble Bundle, except without the charity component?

It's called the "Star Trek Across the Universe Comics Bundle". There are four different tiers you can purchase, with the top tier giving you 50 comics, apparently a C$645.65 value, for C$28.30. Looks like this offer is on for 40 more days.

The catch seems to be that these can only be redeemed on the IDW app, so you have to install the app and create an IDW account if you want to buy these.

Just thought I'd mention it for anyone who is interested. As I mentioned, I haven't heard of Fanatical before, so if they are a problematic company or anything, please let me know.
 
“They’re coming through now, Khan…”

Yes, I started getting some more alerts (I’ve set alerts for the books I still need on CamelCamelCamel, a website you can use to monitor Amazon listings) after I posted what I did above. I’d already discovered “The Janus Gate: Present Tense” and “A Time to Kill” when I saw your list. Which added “A Time to Sow”, “A Time for War, a Time for Peace”, “A Burning House”, and “Warpath” to the $1.99 ebooks I just bought! Big month, indeed!

— David Young
 
Two more $1.99 I just discovered (got notifications for)!

“That Sleep of Death” (TNG, Slings and Arrows Book 4; first that I’ve seen any of the Slings and Arrows being marked to $1.99 or less)

“Make It So: A Memoir” (the new Patrick Stewart memoir!; I read it last year, checked out from the public library, nice to have an ebook version now)
