Free Books (EPUB) - WWW Trilogy (Canada)

This weekend only, Canadians can get a free copy of both WWW: Wake ($7.99 Kindle) and WWW: Watch ($7.99 Kindle), by Hugo and Nebula Award-winning author Robert J Sawyer, as a single title, WebMind, courtesy of Penguin CA and Microsoft.

WWW:Wake
Caitlin Decter is young, pretty, feisty, a genius at math, and blind. When she receives an implant to restore her sight, instead of seeing reality she perceives the landscape of the World Wide Web-where she makes contact with a mysterious consciousness existing only in cyberspace.

WWW:Watch
Webmind is an emerging consciousness that has befriended Caitlin Decter and grown eager to learn about her world. But Webmind has also come to the attention of WATCH-the secret government agency that monitors the Internet for any threat to the United States-and they're fully aware of Caitlin's involvement in its awakening.

WATCH is convinced that Webmind represents a risk to national security and wants it purged from cyberspace. But Caitlin believes in Webmind's capacity for compassion-and she will do anything and everything necessary to protect her friend.


If you get the first two free, you'll probably want to consider picking up the latest title, WWW: Wonder ($12.99 Kindle, Kobo), since even with the new-release Agency pricing, it works out to $4.33 per title in the Trilogy. Canadians may get a better deal yet on this one, as well, since the Agency pricing deal doesn't hold there and they can use Kobo coupons, such as apr8us20 or apr8ca20 for 20% off (expires 4/10).

Book Description
Webmind-the vast consciousness that spontaneously emerged from the infrastructure of the World Wide Web-has proven its worth to humanity by aiding in everything from curing cancer to easing international tensions. But the brass at the Pentagon see Webmind as a threat that needs to be eliminated.

Caitlin Decter-the once-blind sixteen-year-old math genius who discovered, and bonded with, Webmind-wants desperately to protect her friend. And if she doesn't act, everything-Webmind included-may come crashing down.
