I've pretty much abandoned this account for various reasons, but for the record, the notable March SF deals are:
Adrian Tchaikovsky: Saturation Point
Neal Asher: World Walkers
(Both 99p each)
Also Peter F. Hamilton's Exodus: The Archimedes Engine is a daily deal (£1.49)
Under the Eye of the Big Bird by Hiromi Kawakami - 99p
amazon.co.uk/dp/B0D95JSTD2/
(I don't think this is a monthly deal. It's also a very new title, less than a month old.)
Ellison & Straczynski's The Last Dangerous Visions anthology - £1.49
amazon.co.uk/Last-Dangerous-…
Note that besides the stories that had been kept in limbo for ~50 years, this includes newer work by the likes of Adrian Tchaikovsky, James S. A. Corey & Cory Doctorow

Robert A. Heinlein’s The Moon is a Harsh Mistress is a lunar punk opera: anarchists, a sentient computer, and a colony fed up with Earth’s leash. It’s sharp, loud, and makes you want to start a revolution, space-style.
In stock!

In today's deals:

A random pair of reductions that I stumbled across:

Notable SF titles in this month's deals look to be:
Cixin Liu - The Supernova Era (£1.99)

amazon.co.uk/dp/B00AEC8O2U
Emily Tesh's Hugo Winner, Some Desperate Glory, is 99p in today's deals.
amazon.co.uk/Some-Desperate-…
A couple of Gardner Dozois books came up in my Amazon recommendations today - no idea if they are normally this price, but it's the first time I've seen them )(both £1.99):
Geodesic Dreams
amazon.co.uk/Geodesic-Dreams…
Supermen
amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B000…
Turns out there's a fairly notable newish release in the monthly deals, but for some reason not showing in the SF&F subcategory...
Cixin Liu's A View from the Stars collection - £1.49
amazon.co.uk/View-Stars-Cixi…
The blurb for this one says it's "for fans of Emily St John Mandel and Kazuo Ishiguro" and has quotes from a few SF(nal) writers, so perhaps someone will care to give this a go? (£2.89)
amazon.co.uk/Other-Valley-Sc…
The Other Valley seems to be of the SF tropes, but we're shy of calling it that school. And I think reduced more previously.
amazon.co.uk/Other-Valley-Sc…
Asimov's Foundation and Earth is 99p in today's deals.
amazon.co.uk/Foundation-Eart…
Cixin Liu's The Three-Body Problem is in today's deals for £1.19
amazon.co.uk/Three-Body-Prob…
For what it's worth, the October monthly deals seem to be slim pickings again - the only SF title that I don't think has been cheap before is Doug Johnstone's The Collapsing Wave, possibly some of the Star Wars & Trek tie-ins as well.
