Oct 30, 2026, 11:44 AMMy space-opera novella, “The Warrior Within”, is on sale today for just $0.99 at Kobo and Amazon.
Contains 100% of your recommended daily intake of:
- homicidal mercenaries
- posthuman aristocrats
- nomadic scavengers
- enigmatic ruins
- tidally-locked planets
- colossal devices
- disembodied voices
and other essential nutrients.
@angusm I see it at EUR 6.56.
Oct 30, 2026, 11:57 AM@alberto_cottica Alas, the $0.99 offer seems to be US-only. Keep an eye on it — sometimes when something goes on sale in the US, Europe and the UK follow later. And I know that it HAS been on sale in those markets in the past, so you may get your chance.

Oct 30, 2026, 12:04 PM@fdumont Thank you. The place I really want it to be is https://bookshop.org, but for some mysterious reason they only have the paperback.

BTW, I wouldn't rule out that it's me being thick here but Kobo only gives me an Adobe ACSM file which Calibre says is unreadable because DRM while in the book details they promise an non-DRM'd ebook. I can get it liberated from Z-Library so it's fine, but maybe Kobo doesn't abide by your agreed terms here?

Oct 30, 2026, 5:54 PM@menos @fdumont Tor .com (who published the book) are DRM-free across their entire catalogue, AFAIK.
However, I’ve sometimes seen DRM get put on supposedly DRM-free books by the vendor or someone else in the production/distribution chain.
In that case, I think you have to contact the vendor, and they would have to request a non-DRM’d version from their suppliers, then upload that to their servers. I don’t know how open to this Kobo are, or how long it will take them.
Sorry about this.
@angusm
I can't find it on bookshop.org at all.
@angusm Thanks. I bought it on Kobo and I'm looking forward to reading it.
@angusm Thanks. Got it!
@angusm Thanks for the heads up just got it on Kobo.
Oct 31, 2026, 1:34 AM@EdBruce <sigh> I’m sorry. Tor .com’s titles are supposed to be DRM-free (as the text in the description says), but I guess Kobo does their own thing.
It might be worth contacting Kobo to let them know they’re serving a DRM’d version when the publisher wants it to be DRM-free. I don’t know how they’ll respond, though.
Bookshop are good about this; I mailed them about one book and they went back to their supplier to get a fresh, DRM-free copy. I don’t know if Kobo is as responsive.
