Fictionwise Under a Dollar, Redux

Three more books at Fictionwise that are priced ultra low (below a dollar). Like the books from the earlier post, these are only available in DRM secured formats and are not Kindle compatible. Also, there were some problems with the earlier bargain books, but reports are that most (if not all) of the feeds have been corrected, so you should be able to redownload them and replace the public domain classics that were being downloaded in error. I haven't checked these three, so there may or may not be a similar issue with the feeds at first, but Fictionwise has been very good about fixing any such issues.

The Eternal Prison ($9.35 Paperback), by eff Somers, the third in his Avery Cates Trilogy.

Book Description
Avery Cates is a wanted man. After surviving the worst bioengineered disaster in history, Cates finds himself incarcerated - in Chengara Penitentiary. As Chengara has a survival rate of exactly zero, the system's most famous gunner must do some serious plotting. And a betrayal or so later, he achieves his goal. At a price.

All he has to do now is defeat some new personal demons, forge some unlikely alliances, and figure out why the people he's killed lately just won't stay dead.


Blood Ties ($9.99 Paperback), by Pamela Freeman, the first in the Casting Trilogy, was the one dollar book from Orbit back in November.

Book Description
A thousand years ago, the Eleven Domains were invaded and the original inhabitants forced on the road as Travelers, belonging nowhere, welcomed by no-one.

Now the Domains are governed with an iron fist by the Warlords, but there are wilder elements to the landscape which cannot be controlled and which may prove their undoing. Some are spirits of place, of water and air and fire and earth. Some are greater than these. And some are human.

Bramble: a village girl, whom no-one living can tame ... forced to flee from her home for a crime she did not commit.

Ash: apprentice to a safeguarder, forced to kill for an employer he cannot escape.

Saker: an enchanter, who will not rest until the land is returned to his people.

As their three stories unfold, along with the stories of those whose lives they touch, it becomes clear that they are bound together in ways that not even a stonecaster could foresee - bound by their past, their future, and their blood.


Full Circle ($9.35 Kindle), by Pamela Freeman, is the third in the Casting Trilogy, leaving only the middle book at full price (at least, for now).

Book Description
Saker's ghost army is slaughtering those of the new blood, fueled by an ancient wrong. But while he'd thought revenge would be simple, he's now plagued by voices foreshadowing a calamity beyond his comprehension.

Ash and Bramble raise the warrior spirit of Acton, mighty in life and powerful in death. Only he can stop Saker's rampage. But is Acton, Lord of War, murderer or savior?

And why would he help strangers protect a world he's never known?

Bramble has been marked as Saker's nemesis, but will be challenged by deeper powers than Saker can command - as well as by her own feelings for Acton. As the living fight the dead, strange forces will shape an uncertain future from pain and suffering.
