Cached UK/IE Kindle giveaway: 5 copies of @scalzi's REDSHIRTS, which is a fun and *shockingly deep* parody. It is, btw, an excellent written companion piece to GalaxyQuest -- they both tackle a similar idea, but from vastly different approaches. I am not going to lie here: my favourite part of the book is the 3 codas, one of which is heart-rending, but in a good way. Also, I did not understand the ending, and someone had to point it out to me, and then I felt really dumb.

I know this book got all the puppies riled up, and that alone makes it a *great* book to read. But it's also funny, and SFnal. (I'm not sure if it should be classified as fantasy or science fiction. Of course, such distinctions are really meaningless. But it takes an idea, builds a weirdly-consistent world around it, and follows through on the ramifications.)

@kithrup Huh, my go-to webshop has the ebook with DRM for €5,49 and without DRM for €9,99. I think owning the book outright is worth the extra €4,50.

Anyway! As usual, feel free to grab a copy, or to let other people know about it, or both! Remember you need an amazon.co.uk kindle account.I actually bought 10 copies, but since the UK/IE giveaways are sometimes like putting teeth into a baby's mouth, I only do 5 at a time.https://amazon.co.uk/kindle/redeem/?t=GS52NWVAJV6MQNChttps://amazon.co.uk/kindle/redeem/?t=GSM55TV9ZKZ8D7Nhttps://amazon.co.uk/kindle/redeem/?t=GSZH798JJHRYVYYhttps://amazon.co.uk/kindle/redeem/?t=GSS2UUPVLB4WYCKhttps://amazon.co.uk/kindle/redeem/?t=GSS64MS4MG95W2E#KindleBookGiveaway
