Someone kindly pointed me towards this free ebook knowing I am a fan of Star Wars (well at least the original non-suckfest films) and it’s an interesting read. Probably a bit too much information for me and well frankly anyone but if you really want some detailed history about the films then this is a [...]
I’m a sucker for comedy science fiction so this free ebook is going straight onto my reading list.
It’s the first in a series of four books, and is being given away for free which is a price I like. Obviously this is now becoming a common method of promoting a series/author and one that I [...]
This ebook was released not long ago by Small Beer Press, the same people who recently released Mothers & Other Monsters by Maureen F. McHugh as a free ebook.
It’s a great science fiction short story collection, I’m part way through but enjoying it. I’ll come back and add a real review when I’m done but [...]
To celebrate the release of the final part in the Legacy of the Force series, Del Rey books and Random House audio are giving the first book in the series away for free both as an ebook and an mp3 audiobook.
It’s a time limited offer until the 13th May 2008 so hurry over here and [...]

Head over to The Independent where you can snag a copy of Iain Bank’s excellent debut novel The Wasp Factory as an audiobook.
It’s from Audible so probably has the cursed DRM but you can always just burn it to CD. You’ll need to register but it’s no bad thing, Audible are a decent company and [...]
Over at GeekDad, they have teamed up with PS Publishing to offer Jeff VanderMeer’s soon to be released new novel “The Situation” as a free PDF download.
I’ve not read any of his work but it gets consistently good reviews so I’m adding this one to my to-read pile to see if I like it.

The Incwell iPulp Fiction Library is a great little resource I stumbled across today. It has the brilliant premise of publishing “dime novel” style pulp fiction stories with the hope of turning younger people on to reading, which is an aim I can’t applaud enough.
A particular gem is the original short version of Orson Scott [...]
As I mentioned in an earlier post, one of Neil Gaiman’s novels was being voted for by fans and that novel would be published for free online for one month.
Well the novel chosen, rather predictably was American Gods and you can find it here.
Unfortunately it’s in “Read only online here, using our annoying slow online [...]
