Ken McConnell has a couple of bargain reads available right now. The first is Null_Pointer ($6.39), the first in his Joshua Jones Mystery series. Rather than get this one in the Kindle store, though, head over to the series web site and you can download the book for free. Several formats are available, all DRM free (use the Mobi format for the Kindle). You can also read the entire thing free online at Scribd.com, HERE.
Book Description
The man in the cubicle beside him was dead. The police say it was a heart attack, but programmer Joshua Jones knows better. A message he found in the dead man's code points to a psychotic hacker who can strike through the internet, leaving no trace. Relying on the advice from his tech savvy friends, Joshua must solve the mystery of who the killer is and how he attacks before Joshua becomes his next victim.
His second bargain read is from his Galaxy Collision series and is science fiction, rather than a mystery. Starstrikers is currently makred down to 99 cents. This one is a full novel, rather than the short stories found in his other offerings. Two of those short stories, though, and a number of others are also free on Scribd, all of which appear to be downloadable, so you can put the PDF on your Kindle DX or convert them for the other Kindle models (a few are even available as Microsoft Word documents. One last story, Renoke, looks to be an online read only, although it is easily cut-and-pasted into an RTF file for conversion.
