October 2023 Star Trek ebook deals (www.simonandschuster.com)
submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]
 

Here’s the Simon & Schuster listing of ebook deals for this month. $0.99 in the United States.

There’s a heavy focus on TOS Spock focused books, with several classics featured by Diane Diane, AC Crispin and others. There’s also Una McCormack’s excellent Star Trek Picard prequel novel ‘The Last Best Hope.’

Pricing expires on October 29th in the United States.

Other countries - deals are available but not necessarily all the same books. And there may be others on low feature prices!

How to figure out what deals are available where?

Option 1: for UK, Canada, Australia and India, there are links at the bottom of the page that take you to the Simon & Schuster country sites.

  1. Go to your country

  2. Search for “Star Trek” in the search field

  3. Filter by lowest price to highest.

Pro. If you’re on the Simon & Schuster page you’ll be offered a free ebook.

Con. There are sometimes more books available at the lowest prices through Amazon Kindle and Kobo. And in some cases the full US ebook special list is in effect on other countries’ Amazon, but not on the publisher’s own site.

Option 2: go to a major ebook seller for your country

  1. Search for “Star Trek” in books

  2. Filter by ebooks

  3. Filter by either ‘lowest to highest price’ or just by a low maximum price e.g., £ 2 for the UK.

This yields a lot of IDW single issue comics as well as novels, but it’s viable.

I’ve checked for Canada, Amazon Kindle .ca has the full US list plus a few more. David Mack’s excellent Kelvin Universe book ‘More Beautiful than Death’ is at $CDN 0.99, among others.

Enjoy!

Three decades later Trek is just now deciding to openly troll the Babylon 5 fans, and I'm here for it.
