Yes, I do realize that it has been an eternity since I have posted a free ebook download post. It is equal parts lack of time to look for ebooks and fewer legal free ebooks to be found.
In any case, here are your six free ebook leads for the week. I haven’t kept up on Random House’s free ebook releases so there are a few (I expect many of you are keeping an eye on this publisher’s Scribd channel yourselves):
The Templar Legacy has pretty mixed reviews on Amazon.com (click the cover image to see for yourself). It’s a Da Vinci Code sort of story. No cost to download and check it out for yourself though.
A Kiss of Shadows by Laurell K. Hamilton (PDF download):
According to the Amazon.com description A Kiss of Shadows is “a supernatural fantasy with detective adventure and hot sex.” Sounds like a good escape to me especially since I’m not waiting for the last of Karen Marie Moning’s Fever series
Trading in Danger by Elizabeth Moon (PDF download):
Another book with mixed reviews according to the-online-bookseller-I-dare-not-mention (click cover to see reviews). This appears to be a YA science fiction adventure. If you are familiar with this author, the consensus seems to be that this book isn’t up to the same quality compared to her other books. On the other hand, it’s free for you to see for yourself.
The Best of Robert E. Howard, Volume 1: Crimson Shadows (PDF download):
A collection of short stories and poetry covering a number of genres including fantasy, humour, science fiction, and love stories (so I hear, I haven’t actually read this one either although people seem to be pretty happy with it over on, er, that site.
Starfist: First to Fight by David Sherman & Dan Cragg (PDF download):
A science fiction novel of the military kind. A group of marines are stranded in an alien desert and have to get to safety 85 miles away across uncharted territory bristling with unfriendly locals (Wouldn’t they be using metric in the future, or will the U.S. always hold out on that? Sorry, it’s late as I write this and my mind is wandering.).
The Demon Awakens by R. A. Salvatore (PDF download):
A fantasy novel complete with elves, goblins, centaurs, and giants (oh my!). I think this one is YA, but don’t quote me on that.
That’s all for now. I really hope to find ebooks from more publishers, but it’s been pretty slim pickings for the last little while. Let me know if you read (or have read) any of these. All of these authors are new to me.
