Nice find! IIRC, the TWOK novelization is our first repeat... it was part of the sale when they had all the movie novelizations on (May?).
Higher priced, you mean? How so?
Apple violated price-fixing laws and conspired with some publishers (including S&S) to artificially inflate ebook prices in the general market back in 2010, as part of trying to compete with Amazon.

I thought that was what the lawsuit was over, and that it brought an end to all of that. Most of the e-books on Google Play are between US$8.99-US$3.99, which is pretty close to the standard paperback price. There are a few that are quite a bit more expensive, like US$15.99 for That Which Divides, but I think those are priced based on the print on demand versions.
Ah, thanks for the information!
(I was going to just 'like' your post, but then I realized I didn't want it to come across like I liked price-fixing...
)

So what are other people's opinions of the Dark Matters trilogy?
Also it would be awesome if they continued these sales after December. I'm sure they are boosting sales.

I thought the covers were the best part.
I didn't care for the Dark Matters trilogy. I normally like Christie Golden's books but these just fell flat for me. I didn't like the last book at ALL but a lot of that was down to her literary choices which I disagreed with. Other readers might be perfectly fine with what she chose to do. I personally would have enjoyed it more had she gone a slightly different direction with a couple of the characters.
Well I'm probably going to pass since I haven't heard anything good at this point. The Khan books are tempting though.
Disappointing picks this month, overall:
http://www.startrekbooks.com/pages/ebookpromodecember
- DS9: The Star Ghost
- DS9: Emissary
- ENT: By the Book
- TNG: Unification
- TNG: All Good Things
- VOY: Endgame
- VOY: Pathways
Picked up Pathways; I remember that being pretty decent.

Thanks for posting the list, JoeP.
If this is the last month for the $1.99 deals, it ended on sort of a whimper. I'm still very grateful that S&S offered these deals over the course of this year, because they finally gave us an opportunity to get the Slings and Arrows eNovella series at an affordable (i.e., not insanely expensive) price.
Maybe there's hope that the monthly deals will continue into next year.
Yes Slings and Arrows was a great oppurtunity. And I too am hopeful they will just keep going next month.
