For a limited time only — and, really, aren’t all things of limited time? — the Kindle version of Mercury Rising is available for 99 cents at Amazon. If you’ve not read it, but wanted to, here is a sweetly cheap chance.

“I loved this book. I loved the retrò atmosphere, the pop references, the mix of classic and contemporary sci-fi with alternate history. I love these things and I loved the well-developed and interesting characters.” — From NetGalley, not my mom or an AI

The sequel to Mercury Rising — the end of the First Planets Duology — Earth Retrograde, will hit the bookstores Oct. 24.

Thanks for all. I swear I will drop this newsletter back to semi-monthly starting right …. NOW!
