If you read this morning's KindlePost, you saw the bargain price on Andy Remic's The Clockwork Vampire Chronicles: the first two in the series are marked down to $3.19 each. If you only need one of these to complete the trilogy, that's a good deal. But, here are Books on the Knob, we are all about getting the BEST deal! Some of you may, like me, have the first in this series already, as it was free on Kindle in Oct 2010. For the rest of you, grab a sample from one of the three volumes below, but then read all the way to the end of the post for the best possible deal.
Kell's Legend ($3.19)Book Description
Ferocious fantasy from a real-life hardman come to claim the post-Gemmell world.
THEY CAME FROM THE NORTH AND THE CITY FELL.
It is a time for warriors, a time for heroes. Kell's axe howls out for blood. The land of Falanor has been invaded by an albino army, the Army of Iron. A small group set off to warn the king: Kell, a magnificent and brutal hero; his granddaughter, Nienna and her friend, Katrina; and Saark, the ex-Sword Champion of King Leanoric, disgraced after his affair with the Queen.
Fighting their way south, betrayal follows battle, battle follows deviation, and they are attacked from all quarters by deadly warriors, monstrous harvesters who drain blood from their victims to feed their masters. As Falanor comes under heavy attack and invasion, only then does Nienna begin to learn the truth about grandfather Kell -- that he is anything but a hero. Ferocious fantasy from a real-life hardman come to claim the post-Gemmell world.
Soul Stealers ($3.19)Book Description
THE CLOCKWORK VAMPIRES THIRST FOR BLOOD-OIL. The land of Falanor has fallen. The renegade hero Kell is being hunted by the machine-vampires, the Vachine. On his way to recruit reinforcements to launch the counter-attack, the mighty hero finds himself the prey of two beautiful but deadly vampire assassins. Their bronze fangs are coming for him.
Vampire Warlords ($4.79)Book Description
Legendary warrior Kell must choose to flee the conquered land of Falanor, or fight for its people. Even now it may be too late, that all is lost... for the Vachine invaders have called upon their ancient rulers, semi-immortal bloodsuckers who dwell on the edges between life and death. The vampire warlords have returned, and they will feed.
Ok, if you've read this far, then ancient military vampire fantasy is your type of book. But, you want to get the very best deal for your dollar, right? If so, then I've got the deal for you. Right now, you can pre-order The Clockwork Vampire Chronicles omnibus, containing all three volumes, for $3.59. The catch? It won't be published until Feb 28, 2012, so you'll have to wait nearly a year to read it. Of course, in the meantime, I'll bet you'll find plenty of free books here to keep you occupied. I do have to confess, though: I am not pre-ordering this one ... but only because I already have all three (the last two as review copies from Angry Robot). If I didn't, though, I'd have already snapped up this 832 page volume at that price.
Book Description

Fighting their way south, betrayal follows battle follows deviation, and they are attacked from all quarters by deadly albino soldiers, monstrous harvesters who drain blood from their victims to feed their masters, and the twisted offspring of deviant vachine, the cankers. As Falanor comes under heavy attack and crushing invasion, only then does Nienna learn the truth about grandfather Kell - that he is anything but a noble hero, anything but a Legend.
