Here’s the Simon & Schuster listing of ebook deals for this month. $0.99 in the United States.
There’s a heavy focus on TOS Spock focused books, with several classics featured by Diane Diane, AC Crispin and others. There’s also Una McCormack’s excellent Star Trek Picard prequel novel ‘The Last Best Hope.’
Pricing expires on October 29th in the United States.
Other countries - deals are available but not necessarily all the same books. And there may be others on low feature prices!
How to figure out what deals are available where?
Option 1: for UK, Canada, Australia and India, there are links at the bottom of the page that take you to the Simon & Schuster country sites.
-
Go to your country
-
Search for “Star Trek” in the search field
-
Filter by lowest price to highest.
Pro. If you’re on the Simon & Schuster page you’ll be offered a free ebook.
Con. There are sometimes more books available at the lowest prices through Amazon Kindle and Kobo. And in some cases the full US ebook special list is in effect on other countries’ Amazon, but not on the publisher’s own site.
Option 2: go to a major ebook seller for your country
-
Search for “Star Trek” in books
-
Filter by ebooks
-
Filter by either ‘lowest to highest price’ or just by a low maximum price e.g., £ 2 for the UK.
This yields a lot of IDW single issue comics as well as novels, but it’s viable.
I’ve checked for Canada, Amazon Kindle .ca has the full US list plus a few more. David Mack’s excellent Kelvin Universe book ‘More Beautiful than Death’ is at $CDN 0.99, among others.
Enjoy!

One of the things that I consider most important about these sales is that the discount is being borne by the retailer and the publisher.
The contracted tie-in writers still get their full (if small) payment per book. Author @DavidMack@wanderingshop and others have confirmed this point in social media posts.
So, it’s your opportunity to get Treklit content at affordable prices while still ensuring creators are compensated.
There are sometimes more books available at the lowest prices through Amazon Kindle and Kobo.
It’s definitely worth checking the ebook retailer of your choice - AFAIK, they all tend to run this montly sale.

Three decades later Trek is just now deciding to openly troll the Babylon 5 fans, and I’m here for it.
