Rescue Me - $14.99 per Season

Amazon's Gold Box Deal of the Day has every season of Dennis Leary's Rescue Me for $14.99 today (and today only), which is less than the price of Video on Demand (and I don't know how many days it would take me to download all of these, as our bandwidth isn't high enough to watch them online without downloading first. I'll admit I started skipping episodes in Season 4, but now that the fifth Season is out on DVD, I have to get caught up. You can buy any or all of the seasons at this price (and it looks like as many copies as you want, as well, in case you want to buy them for gifts). Here are the links for the individual seasons:

• Season One
• Season Two
• Season Three
• Season Four
• Season Five

I'm even tempted to buy Season Six on Video on Demand, as the price is currently down to $15.99, which is below what Amazon wants for the previous seasons (although this one does appear to be fairly short, with only ten episodes).

Free Book - Tom Paine Maru

Tom Paine Maru - Special Author's Edition ($7.59 Kindle), by L. Neil Smith, is this month's free book from Phoenix Pick.

Book Description
Corporal Whitey O'Thraight may need to choose between his own survival or that of his home planet.

Whitey O'Thraight, the Ship’s Armorer on the first interstellar vessel launched by his home planet Vespucci, finds himself stranded on a strange planet with just one other survivor.

Captured by the local Baron, they are freed by a group of monks who are much more than they initially appear to be. Their new benefactors and friends have something special in mind for the two survivors, but going along with these plans might mean the destruction of Vespucci as they knew it.

Another breath-taking adventure by the author of the award winning Pallas and The Probability Broach

Free Book (PDF) - GOG

GOG - An End Time Mystery ($5.59 Kindle), by Dan Richardson, is free from Wowio this month.

Book Description
After her husband Nick goes missing in Egypt, sheltered art curator Carina Wilde flies out to find him in a land devastated by a man-made flood two years earlier — a fulfillment of the Biblical prophecy of Ezekiel, many believe.

Stumbling upon the secrets he uncovered, she becomes a fugitive pursued by despots, religious fanatics, looters and occupying powers. Her only allies are an orphan scavenging the ruins of Cairo, and a Suez bar-girl whose relationship with Nick is just one of the questions Carina is forced to confront…

A dark satire for an age when the righteous and ruthless shape our world, Gog - An End Time Mystery is written with a rare insight into Egyptian life, Middle Eastern geopolitics, and disinformation.

You can also download a Hayes FM radio interview with Dan Richardson hosted by Paul Goodwin. Among the topics discussed are how Dan began writing travel guides, the experiences that went into his Egyptian thriller, Gog – an End Time Mystery, and how a novel can tell you things about a country that a Rough Guide can’t.
