Simon and Schuster, publisher of Star Trek fiction and non-fiction, is offering a special deal for Star Trek Online Book Club members during the month of November on the popular Starfleet Corps of Engineers (SCE) series of eBooks. Book club participants can receive 25% off when they spend $10 or more on eBooks by using the discount code STBOOKCLUB.
Following the exploits of the crew of the U.S.S. da Vinci, the SCE series puts the "science" in science fiction by focusing on Starfleet's Engineers and their "have tech will travel" approach to solving problems and investigating situations after other Federation starships have moved on. For example, in the very first SCE story "The Belly of the Beast," the U.S.S. Enterprise, under the command of Captain Picard, defeats a strange ship before being called off for another mission. The da Vinci then gets called onto the scene to investigate the mysterious ship, demonstrating that where one adventure leaves off, quite often an even more exciting adventure is just beginning.
Keen-eyed Star Trek fans will also recognize some SCE characters from Star Trek: The Next Generation (Sonya Gomez and Kieran Duffy), Star Trek: Deep Space Nine (Fabian Stevens and Dr. Elizabeth Lense) as well as Starfleet's overall Commanding Officer of the SCE division, a crusty old veteran named Montgomery Scott.
The SCE series was created by John J. Ordover and Keith R.A. DeCandido, and has featured dozens of different adventures written by Star Trek authors such as Ordover, DeCandido, Dean Wesley Smith, Christie Golden, Kevin Dilmore, David Mack, Jeff Mariotte and more.
With 33 different SCE adventures available at SimonSays.com for $1.49 each, there's a lot to choose from at great prices, plus with eBooks, there's no waiting in line or taking a trip to the store, the stories are downloaded in moments and ready to read immediately.
In order to get the discount, readers need simply order more that $10 worth of eBooks (available in several formats; Adobe, Microsoft Reader and Palm) and be sure to enter the discount code STBOOKCLUB when checking out.
