Free ebook for Kindle - Maiden Flight

Samhain Publishing has announced their next Kindle title giveaway. From November 10 to November 16, 2008 – Maiden Flight from Bianca D'Arc will be FREE for the Kindle. This title is the first in her Dragon Knights series. Here’s a little bit about the book:

War is coming for the knights, dragons and a damsel who is not quite in distress, but finds her heart’s desire in the strong men of the Border Lair.

A chance meeting with a young male dragon seals the fate of one adventurous female poacher. The dragon’s partner, a ruggedly handsome knight named Gareth, takes one look at the shapely poacher and decides to do a little poaching of his own. Sir Gareth not only seduces her, but falls deeply in love with the girl who is not only unafraid of dragons, but able to hear their silent speech, which is a rarity. He wants her for his mate, but mating with a knight is no simple thing. To accept a knight, a woman must also accept the dragon, the dragon’s mate… and her knight too.

She is at first shocked, then enticed by the lusty life in the Lair. War is in the making and only the knights and dragons have a chance at ending it before it destroys their land and their lives. But there’s nothing a knight enjoys more than a noble quest and winning the heart and trust of a maiden is the noblest quest of all.

This title has been previously published.

Warning, this title contains explicit sex and menage-a-trois.

Free Ebook: Emissaries from the Dead

Emissaries from the Dead: An Andrea Cort Novel by Adam-Troy Castro, which looks like a murder mystery/scifi cross, is free for a limited time EOS books. From the main Harper Collins Ebook web site click on the "download a free ebook" box at the left of the page or follow this direct link. Don't forget to use the coupon code EOS6 when you get to the checkout page in order to get it for free.

If you have a Kindle, Amazon's Wireless Reading Device, check the Amazon site to see if this title is offered free later this week. Usually they feature the same titles as Harper/EOS has had free within a day or two. If you are thinking of getting a Kindle for the holidays and haven't placed your order yet, you'll want to get your order in soon. With the boost in awareness after being featured on the Oprah show last week, the Kindle is now SOLD OUT! Shipping estimates are now at 2 to 3 weeks, not quite as long a wait as when it was first released, but considering the increased production numbers reported elsewhere, this is estimated on some Kindle blogs to mean over 100,000 units were sold (although no true numbers are released for sales, leaks from the EInk displays screen hardware vendor have been used to estimate numbers for the Kindle and it's competitors). Although the discount is now over, you can still get in your order now and get it before Christmans.

Book Review: The Devil Can Wait

The Devil Can Wait (A Sam Harper Crime Mystery) is the latest in what looks to be a winning crime mystery series from Marta Stephens. The book hits the stands November 2 and I've just finished reading the review copy. Well written and definitely recommended this complex, yet fast paced thriller mostly follows Detective Sam Harper, first introduced in Silenced Cry, as he attempts to stop what appears to be a serial killer on the loose.

The book opens with the latest in a series of murders of teenage gang leaders in Chandler, Massachusetts, then jumps to Columbia, South America, where a drug smuggler is dumped into the jungle after he steals from his employers. Luckily for him, he ends up not far from where his mother hides in the jungle, suspected of being a witch by local villagers, with a ring that holds her power and which her son longs to possess. The ring, however, is known to others and a series of murders follows it's possession, while the drug smuggler follows it's path to Chandler. As he kills those who stand in his way, we discover that the ring is an essential element in the biblical prophecy of the End of Days and he intends to be the one to fulfill it.

As the story progresses and the bodies pile up, all the threads of the story weave together, linking the ring and the serial killer cases together. As the End of the World prophecy is fulfilled, the true face of evil isn't unveiled until it’s nearly too late.
