Storms of Eternity - FREE ebook on Smashwords

Robert Williams · 11-21-2009, 12:12 PM

Hi everyone,

As a promotion, I am offering up my science fiction novel, The Storms of Eternity for free on Smashwords. As they say, it's for a limited time only, so check it out while you can.

When I released Storms in 2005, it received a very favorable review from the sci-fi website sffworld.com, where the reviewer called it "a strange, melancholy tale of science fiction that is both thought-provoking and satisfying in its own right."

The website later did an interview with me about the book. Here's the link.

I had my first booksigning in a real bookstore with Storms. Good times.

The book was also nominated for a Spectrum award, for Best Novel, in 2006. Here is the back cover description. I hope you'll check it out. Also, if after reading it, you feel so inclined to leave an honest review, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Mike Rhoades, Reese Patterson, Josh Carter and his twin sister Jen are inseparable friends, but they each have a secret they cannot share with the others.

All that changes, however, during a sailing trip down the Alaskan coast, when they are struck by a violent storm. After the winds clear, the friends find themselves lost in a nightmare landscape where clouds cover the Earth with eternal darkness; roaming gangs stalk the unending night seeking victims, and two militant factions battle to rule the devastated land by any means necessary.

Mike, Reese, Josh and Jen are caught up in a fight for their lives, freedom, and their very humanity as they are drawn towards the inhuman being that has brought them into this apocalyptic future for its own enigmatic plans.

I just got the kindle app for PC, so I know what you mean about uploading books. I have plenty of paper ones as well. I hope Storms makes a good introduction to SF for you!

I downloaded the sample, Robert. It looks intriguing.

Hi guys,

I have now had almost 500 free downloads of The Storms of Eternity. Just wanted to let you guys know that the free giveaway period will soon be ending. To give everyone enough time, this Sunday 12/13/09, I will change the price structure on Smashwords to "Set your own price." That way if you liked the book or if you still want to read it, you can keep it on your reading list. I'll keep it at "Set your own price" until the end of the year. After that it will go back to the regular price. Thanks to everyone who is reading it!

Robert Williams · 12-14-2009, 10:40 PM

Just changed to "Set your own price" today! Be sure to download a copy while the special is on! Reviews are appreciated!

Robert Williams · 12-26-2009, 12:12 AM

Well, I guess there must be something special about Christmas. After ten days of slow sales, I have "sold" (at set your own price, so really given away) almost fifteen copies of The Storms of Eternity. Thank you to everyone who has picked it up! Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to everyone!

If someone said to me: Here's a brand new LCD TV worth $10,000, but I want you to have for whatever price you want to pay... I would probably say $1...
