Agent to the Stars

John Scalzi made Agent to the Stars available free online because he didn't have a publisher for it; his later books have been published but apparently there's no market for humorous science fiction. Or something. Anyway, if you'd like your free ebook it's available from Many Books.

I enjoyed it. It's rather silly but great fun. If you read it, I'd love to know what you think.

Unusual book

It's a metal book but it's not an ereader. Made out of aluminium, both the cover and the foil pages, it celebrates the release of How to Live Safely in a Science Fictional Universe by Charles Yu. You can even try and get hold of the only copy: it's going to be given away to one person who comments here.

Remix: Free Book!

Lexi Revellian is offering free ebook copies of her murder mystery/romance Remix, just for this week. (If you miss the freebie, the ebook is only $2.99 full price - it's a bargain!)

If you download the book in Epub format then you can download Adobe Digital Editions (also free) to read it on your pc and you're away.

I've read the first few chapters and I feel I'm in safe hands. The plot is developing nicely and the writing feels smooth and well-edited. I'm enjoying it.

Definitely worth a look!

Free cyberpunk books

Thanks to Richard North for sending me the link to Rudy Rucker's Ware cyberpunk novels (Software, Wetware, Freeware, and Realware). They're available free online as a single download under a Creative Commons licence.

Oh Sony ebook reader, where are you? Christmas is a long way off.

I now officially have too many books to read. That won't last long!
