(which is a $6.98 download as part of today's Video Games Deal of the Day, which also includes a $3.98 download for Ricochet Extreme).

A prequel to Waiting for Autumn, Summer's Path is the remarkable story of Don Newport, an engineer that comes face to face with his personal destiny under extraordinary circumstances. After losing his job and his health insurance, Don learns he has a terminal disease with only a few months left to live. On his death bed, he meets Robert, a brazen angel of death that promises to help Don with a graceful exit. As Don prepares to say his last goodbyes to his loving wife, Robert attempts to change Don's perspective about his mortality and proposes an exceptionally unique option. Robert leads Don through an astounding meditation of life and death and reveals various healing and spiritual concepts including walk-ins, embodiment and soul destiny. On this magical journey of self realization, Don discovers that it's never too late to learn profound life lessons about ourselves and our loved ones.

Free Ebook: Freeground (The First Light Chronicles #1)

Randolph Lalonde has released the first book in his First Light Chronicles trilogy, Freeground (Kindle $2.39, currently on sale), as a free ebook in both PDF and mobi (Kindle) format on a permanent basis, directly from his web site.

If you like the Freeground, the The First Light Chronicles Omnibus (which contains all three books: Freeground, Limbo, and Starfree Port), is currently available for the Kindle for $9.99 or as a print version at $17.99. This omnibus version of the trilogy is more cost effective than buying the second two as standalone books (plus it puts Amazon in charge of backing up your bookshelf, if you have a Kindle).

His Spinward Fringe series follows the First Light Chronicles, and is an unlimited series (it's recommended that you read the First Light Chronicles first) and is also available at Amazon in trade paperback or Kindle versions. So far, the titles available are Resurrection, Awakening and Triton

Synopsis:

In the middle of the darkest region of explored space sits one bright beacon; Freeground Station. Serving as a supply and trading post it is home to a select number of human beings that will take an unlikely chance to make a difference in their end of the galaxy.

Jonas and his friends spent their spare time in tactical simulations and drew the attention of Freeground Fleet Command when they hacked into restricted combat scenarios for elite trainees and defeated all comers.

Instead of punishing Jonas and his friends they offered them an opportunity to undertake a dangerous and exciting mission. They were to go out into the Galaxy and acquire any advantages that would improve life for Freegrounders.

This series is about their first voyage together, the challenges they face, and the relationships they forge with each other and the beings they meet along the way.
