Planet Baen: Web Game for free eBooks
Baen's put out a new web game called Planet Baen at planetbaen.net - which lets you earn credits for free ebooks both by playing and by building alliances with other players.
I started yesterday and already earned one eBook. If anyone's interested, my name on there is Stark. |

Sounds cool. Unfortunately, with dial-up it ain't gonna happen.
I'll bookmark the site for times I have access to broadband. |

I've bought every ebook that Baen have ever published, so it would be a little pointless for me .

ally with any of those above. If you both join each other as allies, you show under My Alliance on the allies page |

From what I can tell, it gets more and more "expensive" the more allies you have - but you seem to get one free book for every ten allies, so....
