It was a steal at $5.99, don't know what to call it at $.99, but a REALLY great deal!
p.s. I've been meaning to tell you, Mike, that I convinced LL to read this, even though she doesn't like SciFi. Read all three and really enjoyed them!

ATTENTION ALL READERS
Read these books. You won't regret it. The only thing you have to lose is . . . sleep, because these are the ones that keep you reading way (and I mean waaaay) past your bedtime.

Yeah, Mike. Now that you're a stay-at-home author, you have time to hand-paint those 2 a.m. Club T-Shirts. |

You know, as soon as I finish the first draft of Dead Soul (which I think is going to happen either tomorrow or Tuesday - VERY close now to the end), I'm gonna make those t-shirts!! |

Hey you out there.....
That's right you who haven't read In Her Name yet...
And you have been lurking around here reading this thread, wondering what it is all about.
Stop.
At $.99 for the Omnibus, just get it, read it, enjoy it.
Just do it.
Just sayin......

You won't be sorry ... unless it's 2am and you're staying up on a work night to finish it.  Seriously, I'm not even a sci-fi fan and I loved it. |

Yeah, well, I was busy... Speaking of busy, In Her Name (omnibus) is now at #341 in the Kindle store. Get it while it's hot (and cheap)! |

All the books of the IN HER NAME series and SEASON OF THE HARVEST just went on sale for 30-35% off their regular prices on Amazon through Friday 17 September. So if you enjoy a good sci-fi read, check 'em out! (Note: EMPIRE, the first novel in the series, is still listed at its regular price, but you can either download it for free from my site, or sample the omnibus edition of IN HER NAME, which has the first three novels in the series and will give you most of EMPIRE.) <merged with existing book thread, thanks. --Betsy> |

So I stay up all night reading at work anyway. I am aprox. 50% through the Omnibus edition of IHN. I am loving it so far. Memorable characters and great action. Glad I took a chance on this one. |

Just as a heads-up, the omnibus edition (which contains the first three novels of the IN HER NAME series) is on special discount this week on Amazon sites for Kindle, and also on Smashwords. So if you enjoy sci-fi or fantasy - or even if you don't as many readers who don't normally read those genres have enjoyed the book - sample it and see! Or, heck, just buy it - at this price what have you got to lose, right? Amazon USAmazon UKAmazon DESmashwords - check out with coupon code GJ55L for a 90% discount! Enjoy! |

This is the omnibus edition, and contains the complete novels of IN HER NAME: EMPIRE, CONFEDERATION, and FINAL BATTLE in a single volume. EMPIRE This is the coming-of-age story of Reza Gard, a young boy of the Human Confederation who is swept up in the century-long war with the alien Kreelan Empire. Nightmarish female warriors with blue skin, fangs, and razor sharp talons, the Kreelans have technology that is millennia beyond that of the Confederation, yet they seek out close combat with sword and claw, fighting and dying to honor their god-like Empress. Captured and enslaved, Reza must live like his enemies in a grand experiment to see if humans have souls, and if one may be the key to unlocking an ages old curse upon the Kreelan race. Enduring the brutal conditions of Kreelan life, Reza and a young warrior named Esah-Zhurah find themselves bound together by fate and a prophecy foretold millennia before they were born. CONFEDERATION Banished from the Kreelan Empire, Reza is once again a stranger in a strange land as he returns to the human Confederation. Befriended by a marooned Confederation naval officer leading a desperate fight against the Kreelans on a distant colony world, she reunites Reza with Nicole Carré. With their help, he fulfills his childhood dream of becoming a Confederation Marine. Reza will need all the help he can get, for dark forces are at work at the heart of the Confederation, and Reza becomes a pawn in a lethal power struggle that leads him back to the planet Erlang. There, a heartbreaking reunion awaits him, along with the discovery of an ages-old power that the Kreelan Empire will stop at nothing to control. FINAL BATTLE Reza awakens in a hospital on Earth after having been in a coma for months. Charged with murder and high treason, he finds himself the scapegoat for a daring plot to assassinate the President of the Confederation. Escaping with the help of Jodi Mackenzie, who is now hunted for what she knows about the death of the president, Reza discovers that something is deeply wrong with the Empire: the warriors have lost their will to fight. Compelled to step into a trap set for him and Jodi, the two once again find themselves bound for Erlang. But this time it is to meet Tesh-Dar, who has been captured. When Reza and Jodi are taken prisoner and sentenced to death, they can only watch as a human armada gathers for a strike against the Kreelan homeworld. But the human fleet - and humanity itself - will be doomed to utter annihilation unless Reza can reach the Empress in time... |
