Normally I don't bother sharing contest links, but this one was created by one of my favorite current authors, Matthew Mather. The Discover Sci-Fi Giveaway was created by a group of sci-fi authors to promote their work. Just by signing up you can get one of a handful of free e-books from them (I recommend Mather's CyberStorm if you haven't read it yet), and you'll be entered into the running for a grand prize of FORTY signed first edition books! (Full disclosure - This sign-up link, if used, also nets me extra contest entries. If you don't want that, feel free to sign up on your own, I want Mather to get more readers as well.) discoverscifi.com/giveaways/signed-copies/?lucky=3703It ends on February 29th, and winners will be drawn on March 12th. |

CyberStorm wasn't available but I got an SF anthology called Future Chronicles, it looks good, thanks!

Oh, oops! I think Nomad is the Mather book that's available for free. It's pretty good as well, though not as good (IMHO) as his CyberStorm or Atopia/Dystopia Chronicles.

Free books? Yay! Now I needn't go to the library on my way home from work today.

Thanks for the heads up. You are now in the possession of three more contest entries. I wasn't enthused about the choices I got, being different flavours of military sci-fi. I'm not against that genre but the one guy on the list I'd read, Evan Currie, was really not my cup of tea, so I picked Autumn Kalquist's book because she was the only non-white guy on there.

Thanks! The only other author on the list I know I've read was Wearmouth, who wrote a terribly one-dimensional thriller as part of the team of "Wearmouth and Barnes". The style of "group of teenagers discover massive conspiracy run by mad scientist, and as a reward for being captured and then surviving, the remaining two are made FBI agents at the end for no justifiable reason."

I picked that one too and read it in its entirety on my commute yesterday. It's more a novella than a proper novel, but I enjoyed it well enough that I'd seek out other works by Kalquist. |

Sorry guys, but I entered. And given my history with contests, you can all pack up and go home on this one.
