Both the artwork and the title seem like Wheel of Time imitations. ..

Re: [Kindle] Daily e-book deals of note
The series moves around in the timeline a lot.
The series is published outside of internal chronological order. The first book published in the series occurs near the end of the overall story, with subsequent books jumping further into the past to expand on elements of history. The author recommends reading the books in publication order. As of the eighteenth novel, Heritage of Cyador, the saga covers eight different time periods and eleven major story lines. The stories demonstrate the progression of real-life events into myth and legend over the progression of centuries, as the characters in one book will be known as heroes or mythical figures in other, chronologically later books. Additionally, certain characters appear in multiple books, the protagonists in one novel, appearing as a supporting characters in others.
It's almost as if people are the problem.

I remember back when Wheel of Time first hit. You'd go to Waldenbooks and see tons of books with covers that featured that art style and a knock-off WoT font.

I remember reading one or two of his novels a long time ago. I remember liking the way he set up magic in the universe, in a very well thought out, almost scientific, way.

Damn, Smoove. At LEAST read 11/22/63. That is fantastic King, IMO.Smoove_B wrote:Mr. Mercedes by Stephen King is on sale today for $2.99 and it's apparently the first of three books in the series. I will fully admit, that I've fallen out of step with Mr. King; up until the early 2000s I'd read everything he published but apparently after The Dark Tower ended I stopped.

Doctor Sleep (the sequel to The Shining) was also fun. His son, Joe Hill, is turning out pretty good too. If you like Doctor Sleep, Hill's NOS4A2 also has a nice bit of cross over.Smoove_B wrote:Read and quite enjoyed.

It's the first JeffV "Kindle has the worst history book selection in the universe" sale. Looks to be about 25 books, up to 85% off. Granted, there isn't a history book on Greek naval warfare from 480–31 BC, but it looks like a solid selection.

Re: [Kindle] Daily e-book deals of note
I really enjoyed these books. I think this may be the first economic theory SF I've seen/read (in addition to its other SF themes). It does take a bit to get going, FWIW as he's laying a lot of groundwork. Haven't read the latest in the series (Empire Games) yet, but the first 3 (or 6, depending on how you find them - the original publisher didn't like the larger tomes, and had him split them into multiple books) are a good read, though they do drag a bit in spots, IMHO - probably in part due to trying to do that split and make the books somewhat whole if read as 6 books.Moliere wrote:The Tor.com eBook Club Selection for February is:
