Save On New Sci-Fi Novel From The Witcher And Cyberpunk Writer
Jakub Szamalek's Inner Space is getting a 20% discount to celebrate its release
One of the writers for The Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk 2077, Jakub Szamalek, just published his latest thriller novel, Inner Space, on July 15. The book sounds quite a bit different from the plot lines of the games Szamalek has worked on, taking place aboard the International Space Station and following a gripping plot about real-world conflicts and espionage. Nevertheless, fans of The Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk 2077--and anyone looking for a grounded, realistic sci-fi and spy thriller, for that matter--can grab a 20% launch discount on the paperback edition at Amazon, dropping the novel to $15.19 (was $19). There's also a Kindle version available for $13. Early reviews are positive for the book, so be sure to check it out before this deal disappears.
Inner Space follows Lucy Poplasky, a commander aboard the International Space Station. The station is experiencing an ammonia leak, which just so happens to coincide with Russia's invasion of Ukraine--and the US believes the ammonia leak could be an act of sabotage. However, when the Russians aboard the ISS claim to know nothing about the source of the leak, tensions quickly escalate. Beyond serving as a fast-paced thriller, it explores the concept of space travel and the reasons why humanity has chosen to explore the stars.
The paperback edition of Inner Space is currently available for $15.19 (was $19), though it's unclear how long this 20% launch deal will last. If you prefer digital formats, the Kindle edition isn't on sale, but it's quite affordable at $13. You can also download a free sample of the book's intro, so you can give it a quick read to see if it catches your interest.

It revealed a bunch of gruesome vampire powers--though you'll need to pay close attention to the position of the sun, as none can be used during the day. If you're interested in checking out Szamalek's narrative chops before the game releases next year, consider adding Inner Space to your bookcase while it's cheap.
