Post your free* book finds here.

Click here for the May 2010 free book thread:
http://www.kindleboards.com/index.php/topic,23884.0.html

This thread is for members to post your Free book finds, no self-promotion please.

If you have a book of your own to promote, you may start a thread all your own in the Book Bazaar to promote your book, to post news and to talk to your fans!  Of course, you may also list the book in your Avatar and signature.  Thanks!

Tip: typing in the title in addition to including the cover helps when doing searches!

Thanks, Jason, BTackitt and pooka for the info about the James Patterson book, however, as the link isn't working, I'm going to delete the posts about it so as to not confuse people (like me  Grin)  If the free preview shows up again, please post it again!

Not sure if this was posted before, but it's still free if so...



Peter Leroy recalls his maternal grandfather’s attempt to build a shortwave radio, a project that begins with an article in Impractical Craftsman magazine promising "hour after interminable hour of baffling precision work." After many, many hours spent watching his grandfather labor at his basement workbench, Peter at last gets to put the earphones on, flip the switch, and twiddle the dials. Through the crackling and sussurous static he detects the sounds of love and lust, joy and sorrow, hope and loss.

^^^^ I got that when it was free before. . . .formatting is atrocious. . . . .footers (or maybe they're headers) in the middle of the pages.  Wordsthatallruntogetherlikethis.  And the chapters are numbered 1,4, 6, 7, 12, 14.  Fortunately it's pretty short. . .no way I would have continued if it was full length.  Story's not bad, if you like that sort of thing.  But there was a prologue at the beginning that was just confusing. . . . .

These all appear to be short stories by Tor/McMillian - SciFi genre (assumption because they are all Tor, which does SciFi - none have descriptions). They are also all pre-orders. I hope all that info is correct Smiley

Eros, Philia, Agape

The monthly free audiobook from christianaudio.com is Francis Chan's Forgotten God: Reversing Our Tragic Neglect of the Holy Spirit.

I read this one, it isn't long (about 4 hours) but I think it is better than his better known "Crazy God".
