Always cool to catch a freebie with good reviews.

Now will probably get hooked and have to pony up full price for rest of series.

That's the boat I'm in. I really liked the first book and am fighting the urge to buy the rest.

Dont fight it, book 2 is worth the $7(I complain about buying any books I cannot put in my library).

As discussed, got the free download, read "Freehold", liked it, paid for book 2 Thursday nite.

If I were not such a cheapskate, I would buy the hard bound edition of some of the books read last couple years and put them in my library.

Wife rags me because I would probably get my money back for Amazon Prime subscription just in books over the course of the year.

I'm reading the follow-up to Freehold, The Weapon. It's a fair bit different than Freehold but good in it's own right.

Pillar to the Sky by William Forstchen

Same author as One Second After


The Wright Brothers by David McCullough

At this point in my career, the only good thing I can say about travel is the ability to read or listen to a book. These were both good books and make a nice bookend, one fiction, the other biography non-fiction. Both involve inovation of new technology that most believed improbable. Any advancement requires risk and often results in death before success. Imagine a world where Lt. Thomas Selfridge did not die but the US government did not buy a Wright flyer.

The Harry Dresden books by Jim Butcher. Be warned - I have been accused of peddling literary crack by people who have listened to me and read them.
