The Kobo Daily Deal, Solo, looks to be an interesting sports memoir by Hope Solo, goalkeeper for the U.S. women’s soccer team. History buffs won’t want to miss The Sleepwalkers: How Europe Went to War in 1914 while it’s under $2. In the Kindle Daily Deals, Clive Cussler fans won’t want today’s deal; I’ll probably pick it up, along with the third of Maureen McGowan’s Dust Chronicles novels.
Today on Amazon’s Gold Box, save 63% on Psych: The Complete Series – Limited Edition (including Psych: The Musical) on DVD. In the Lightning Deals, I see the Solo Stove Campfire, along with the Tripod and Windscreen; I’ve been using this stove for camping, to have fire for roasting hot dogs and marshmallows, without having to buy a lot of firewood. Usually one or two loads of small sticks, found on site, is enough for a meal. All three appear now and then in the deals and usually sell out quickly. There is the matching Solo Stove 2 Pot Set coming up in the deals later today, along with the smaller Solo Stove Pot 1800 and a nice set of Stainless Steel Pint Cups
The UK Kindle Daily Deals today includes several of Winston Graham’s novels about Cornwall, plus a few others, such as Barry Loser and the Holiday of Doom by Jim Smith, which is also on sale for $5 here in the US.
Today’s Kindle Daily Deal is Blue Gold ($1.99), the second novel in the NUMA Files series by Clive Cussler [Pocket Books / Simon and Schuster].
Book Description
Clive Cussler’s New York Times bestselling Blue Gold, now available in ebook, is a heart-pounding thriller in the NUMA adventure series. Kurt Austin navigates the Amazon jungle in search of a legend that could change the path of science—but secretive powers will do anything to stop him.From deep within the Venezuelan rain forest emanates the legend of a white goddess and a mysterious tribe with startling technical accomplishments. Few believe the tribe exists—and even fewer suspect its deity may hold knowledge that can change the course of history.
For National Underwater & Marine Agency crew leader Kurt Austin, an investigation into the sudden deaths of rare whales leads him to the Mexican coast, where someone tries to put him and his mini-sub permanently out of commission. Meanwhile, in South America’s lush hills, a specially assigned NUMA crew turns up the white-goddess legend—and a murderous cadre of bio-pirates intent on stealing medicinal secrets worth millions. Soon Austin and his crew realize they’re working the opposite ends of the same grand scheme. A billionaire California tycoon is poised to rise to power by monopolizing the earth’s vastly depleted freshwater reserves and ultimately dominate the world.
Austin has a hunch Venezuela’s mythical tribal goddess has some real roots in science, and may be the key to locating a secret formula that could turn vast amounts of seawater into fresh. But with each step into the bush, he and his NUMA team feel like fish out of water—and must fight a deadly, twisting trail of enemies through a dense jungle of treachery, blackmail, and murder.
