This community is inspired by but not connected r/ebookdeals on Reddit.

Its purpose is for readers to share deals that they find on the web for ebooks through well-known retailers. Additionally, if you are an author and have an interest in posting a notice when you have a price drop coming up, please feel free to let us know, and we can include yours as well. Please avoid self-promotional posts without first contacting somebody on the community management team.

Spam, referral, shortened, and affiliate links are not allowed as this is not a community designed to allow members or mods to make money on their deal findings. Links must be as close to vanilla hyperlinks as possible for the retailer. Links must be cleaned or trimmed of tracking information or when posting or they will be removed.

Please limit posts to time-limited discounts of non-public domain items. Books that are at a permanently low price are great, but not appropriate for this community. The same goes for republishings or cleanups of public domain books.

7 comments fedilink hide all child comments

Humanity has colonized the solar system—Mars, the Moon, the Asteroid Belt and beyond—but the stars are still out of our reach.

Jim Holden is XO of an ice miner making runs from the rings of Saturn to the mining stations of the Belt. When he and his crew stumble upon a derelict ship, the Scopuli, they find themselves in possession of a secret they never wanted. A secret that someone is willing to kill for—and kill on a scale unfathomable to Jim and his crew. War is brewing in the system unless he can find out who left the ship and why.

Detective Miller is looking for a girl. One girl in a system of billions, but her parents have money and money talks. When the trail leads him to the Scopuli and rebel sympathizer Holden, he realizes that this girl may be the key to everything.

Holden and Miller must thread the needle between the Earth government, the Outer Planet revolutionaries, and secretive corporations—and the odds are against them. But out in the Belt, the rules are different, and one small ship can change the fate of the universe.

It's a great book. I really enjoyed the first half of the Expanse (book) series. I'd heartily recommend anything by Ty Frank and James Corey.

I hope you are getting to the second half soon. I really really liked the second half better.

I liked the bit with the protomolecule waaaay more than the human-on-human conflict. I stopped reading halfway through the second last book. ☹️

I think you should push through. Being vague to not give any spoilers but the human to human conflict half way through is the weakest and also the worst part of the show IMO. It picks up way more into the sci-fi realm vs factions slugging it out.

I'm looking for something else to read. Maybe I'll give it a shot.

Here is another universe wide saga. Hidden empire: the saga of the seven suns

Should be an easy not too deep sci-fi that I personally liked. Best of luck on finding a new series, I am in the same situation.

Thanks, I'll take a look
