Reddit mentions of Rebel Fleet (Rebel Fleet Series Book 1)

No, because if it's super cheap, it's probably going to be available as a KU title. But again, you don't need KU to get the whispersync deal. You can just buy the book outright.

See the second screenshot. I included the option to buy the book in the screenshot. The only thing KU does is allow you to "borrow" the book.

But again, if you don't have KU, you can just buy the book and you'll still be able to add whispersync.

I'm assuming you don't have KU, you can check this link as an example of a book you can get cheap with Kindle + Whispersync without needing a KU subscription.

There are even cheaper books.

Here's one for $3 total.

I'm not recommending either of these books, the first example I feel is hot garbage, the second one I don't know anything about. They're just examples of cheap books.

And expanding upon that, don't expect books like The Expanse or books by Peter F. Hamilton or Alastair Reynolds to be this cheap. It's usually the lower quality books. There are some gems for low prices like this, but for the most part the top quality books are flying to be fairly expensive.

If anyone is interested in a book that would fit this prompt: Rebel Fleet by BV Larson has a similar premise. It is free on Prime Reading right now. I just finished it last night, and I thought it was a pretty fun, light read.

It's a pretty quiet week, after a pretty good haul to start December last week here's what most catches my eye for the week ending Tuesday December 13, including a couple that really, really do:

• Fiction: Nobody Is Ever Missing by: Catherine Lacey, narrated by: Saskia Maarleveld for Blackstone -- First published in 2014 by FSG, gained international recognition this year (though back in 2014 it had nice reviews from the New Yorker and the NY Times) as the author won the Whiting Award, and now here it is in audio: "Without telling her family, Elyria takes a one-way flight to New Zealand, abruptly leaving her stable but unfulfilling life in Manhattan. As her husband scrambles to figure out what happened to her, Elyria hurtles into the unknown, testing fate by hitchhiking, tacitly being swept into the lives of strangers, and sleeping in fields, forests, and public parks. Her risky and often surreal encounters with the people and wildlife of New Zealand propel Elyria deeper into her deteriorating mind. Haunted by her sister's death and consumed by an inner violence, her growing rage remains so expertly concealed that those who meet her sense nothing unwell. ... In the spirit of Haruki Murakami and Amelia Gray, Nobody Is Ever Missing is full of mordant humor and uncanny insights, as Elyria waffles between obsession and numbness in the face of love, loss, danger, and self-knowledge."
  
  
• Dance Dance Dance: A Novel by: Haruki Murakami , translated by Alfred Birnbaum, narrated by: Josh Bloomberg for Blackstone Audio -- Murakami's 1995 novel, the 4th entry in the loosely-tied-together "Rat" series (Hear the Wind Sing, Pinball 1973, Wild Sheep Chase) -- "In this propulsive novel, one of the most idiosyncratically brilliant writers at work in any language fuses science fiction, the hard-boiled thriller, and white-hot satire into a new element of the literary periodic table. As he searches for a mysteriously vanished girlfriend, Haruki Murakami's protagonist plunges into a wind tunnel of sexual violence and metaphysical dread in which he collides with call girls, plays chaperone to a lovely teenaged psychic, and receives cryptic instructions from a shabby but oracular Sheep Man. Dance Dance Dance is a tense, poignant, and often hilarious ride through the cultural Cuisinart that is contemporary Japan, a place where everything that is not up for sale is up for grabs."
  
  
• To the Vanishing Point by: Alan Dean Foster, narrated by: Joel Richards for Dreamscape -- Foster's 1999 novel: "It was just a boring drive through the Nevada desert...until the Sonderberg family picked up a beautiful young hitchhiker named Mouse and found themselves on a wild, careening ride down the exit ramp to Hell. It seems the entire universe is doomed unless Mouse, a transdimensional alien, can find and heal the dying cosmic Spinner who controls the very fabric of reality. Suddenly attacked by a demonic gas station attendant, axe-wielding rats, and fire-breathing cops, the Sondberg family must become warriors in a now-mystical motor home and battle pangalactic diners, weird worlds, impossible voids, and brain-bending realms of madness. They're driving into a fantastic nightmare to save all creation at the Vanishing Point on the Cosmic Road...which happens to be US Interstate 40!"

• Fiction: The Autobiography of My Mother by: Jamaica Kincaid, narrated by: Robin Miles for Blackstone -- "From the recipient of the 2010 Clifton Fadiman Medal comes an unforgettable novel of one woman's courageous coming of age. Powerful, disturbing, and stirring, Jamaica Kincaid's novel is the deeply charged story of a woman's life on the island of Dominica. Xuela Claudette Richardson, the daughter of a Carib mother and a half-Scottish, half-African father, loses her mother to death the moment she is born and must find her way on her own."
  
  
• Collection: Magical Mechanications by: Pip Ballantine and Tee Morris, read by the authors -- collection of Steampunk adventure novelettes
  
  
• Short: Mr. Spaceship by: Philip K. Dick, narrated by: Edward Miller for Audioliterature -- "Set in the distant future, where humanity is at war with "Yuks", an alien life form which does not use mechanical spaceships nor constructions. Instead, it relies on life forms. The war has been going on for a long time, and humanity has not been able to come up with a solution against the life form-based ships and mines that the Yuks use. One day, a team of researchers led by our hero Philip Kramer decides to build a spaceship which is powered by a human brain! They find the ideal candidate, Kramer's old professor, a dying man who volunteers to donate his brain to the project... This is just the starting point of an absolutely incredible adventure!"
