Looking for some new sci-fi or fantasy to read, if anyone has any recommendations.

Difficulty: has to be available for my Kindle

I enjoyed these quite a bit, both on my Kindle:

Equations of Life by Simon Morden. First book in a post-apocalyptic trilogy.

Leviathan Wakes by James S. A. Corey (pen name for co-authors Daniel Abraham and Ty Franck). Space opera. The Kindle version include the full version of The Dragon's Path by Daniel Abraham, which is a fantasy novel, but I haven't started reading that one yet.
 
I'm re-reading "The Andromeda Strain". Unfortunately it's not available on Kindle.

Also reading "Heart of Darkness." That is on Kindle and was free. Amazing some of the great classic books Amazon is giving away.

I've been looking for a good book on this for years.

This is not it.

Rambling, unfocused, inadequate and the second book on the subject I've read that gets bogged down in lengthy analysis of The Elders of Zion, which, despite the authors' own fixations, is almost completely irrelevant to modern conspiracist mindset.

If you like Heart of Darkness, and have read some other classic literature, I cannot stress how much I recommend Timothy Findley's Headhunter. One of the best books I've ever read, but best appreciated by the literate and well-read.
