Simon & Schuster had a larger than usual array of ebook deals for September 2023.

October 1st is the last day for this group, a new set (likely fewer books) will come on line Sunday the 2nd.

If you haven’t given Treklit a try, these ebook deals are a great low cost way to get into it.

      See my other update comment for this post.

      There are ebook and audiobook deals also for CA, UK and DE, but they have some country-specific variations.

        Thanks! Works for me (US) Do you know how to be aware of future star trek sales?

          Just bookmark the Simon & Schuster Star Trek ebook deals page. A new list should be posted the day after this promotion ends.

          There’s also the option to signup for emails from the publisher for promotions (valid in the US only) that include other books and franchises.

          I’ll continue to post the Star Trek deal links periodically here too.

      I can only speak for those I’ve read - Iane Duane’s ‘Doctor’s Orders’ is a fine, easy read.

      I loved Beyer’s ‘Children of the Storm’ but it’s in the midst of her Voyager Full Circle cycle. So it depends on whether you mind dropping in the middle of a long running series.

      The Voyager String Theory trilogy is earlier in the timeline. Uneven but interesting.

    It seems Simon & Schuster has different relationships with the various country platforms for the major ebook sellers. It seems that in some countries the promotion is on the audiobooks rather than the ebooks.

    It’s usually not actually US only, just the exact $US 0.99 promotional price. (It would be great to have specific listings by country.)

    In Canada, Amazon.ca typically has the same deals for $CDN 0.99 and I’ve seen the same but £ 0.99 at times on the UK site.

    Checking the current Amazon Kindle prices for Canada shows the ebook deal $0.99

    The UK Amazon Kindle is showing some of the books at £ 4.99, others are at 99p - but has Audiobooks for the Genesis wave showing as £0.00, that is for free.

    The German Amazon Kindle de site has the ebooks also seemingly at full €8.99 for some, but others are going for free with a €0.00 listed price - including the Voyager ones - but again the Genesis Wave promotion for free audiobooks is in effect.
