Content FREE (and bargain) books for the Kindle - February 2011 - Page 6

This one as been mentioned in the main forum, but I'm adding it here for those who follow the thread or might have missed the discussion.

The Warlock of Firetop Mountain ($3.99) is a new game for Kindle from Worldweaver. Based upon the Fighting Fantasy Adventure series of books from the 70's, this is more of a game, with RPG elements, than just a choose-your-own-path book. The book this one is based upon is out of print, but you can still pick up used copies ($0.89+).

So far, I've played it for a couple of hours and made it thru what is, I'm sure, only a portion of the dungeon (and died several times). Your map is retained between tries, but you play "forward", no doubling back (limited and sometimes no choices, depending on where you are). You have to learn which places to go first, as you can't go back to them and remember to save in the appropriate spots (you can't do this, just anywhere).

Game Description
The Warlock of Firetop Mountain brings the popular game book series Fighting Fantasy by Steve Jackson and Ian Livingstone to Kindle devices.

Deep in the caverns beneath Firetop Mountain lies an untold wealth of treasure, guarded by a powerful Warlock - or so the rumour goes. Many adventurers have set off in search of the Warlock's hoard. None has ever returned. Do you dare follow them?

Enjoy this heroic solo adventure with classic role-playing and combat features. As you play you choose different paths to explore Firetop Mountain. Each room or cave brings choices, ensuring hours of entertainment as you play or replay the story. A convenient in-game map tracks places you have visited and monsters or items encountered. Intuitive dice-based combat and game mechanics simulate the pen-and-paper experience.

You are the hero! You decide which route to take, which dangers to risk and which creatures to fight. But be warned - it will also be you who has to live or die by the consequences of your actions.

Hi, long time lurker but I never seem to post.

The Master and Margarita, by Mikhail Bulgakov is only £1.89 in the UK store. $7.35 in the US store I'm afraid. Hopefully it needs no introduction but here's the Amazon blurb.

From the Back Cover
WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY WILL SELF

‘Stunning, superb…Bulgakov is one of the greatest Russian writers, perhaps the greatest’ Independent

The devil makes a personal appearance in Moscow accompanied by various demons, including a naked girl and a huge black cat. When he leaves, the asylums are full and the forces of law and order in disarray. Only the Master, a man devoted to truth, and Margarita, the woman he loves, can resist the devil’s onslaught.

TRANSLATED BY MICHAEL GLENNY

About the Author
Mikhail Bulgakov (1891 - 1940) was born and educated in Kiev where he graduated as a doctor in 1916. He rapidly abandoned medicine to write some of the greatest Russian literature of this century. After a lifetime at odds with the stultifying Soviet regime, he died impoverished and blind in 1940, shortly after completing his masterpiece, The Master and Margarita. None of his major fiction was published during his lifetime.

Werewolf Upstairs, by Ashlyn Chase, is $2.39 on Kindle.

Book Description
Petty crime never looked so good...

Alpha werewolf Konrad Wolfensen sees it as his duty to protect the citizens of Boston, even if it means breaking into their businesses just to prove their security systems don't work. But when his unsolicited services land him in trouble with the law, he'll have to turn to his sexy new neighbor for help.

She should know better...

Attorney Roz Wells is bored. She used to have such a knack for attracting the weird and unexpected, but ever since she took a job as a Boston public defender, the quirky quotient in her life has taken a serious hit. Until her sexy werewolf neighbor starts coming around...

Letters to a Soldier, by Julia Spencer-Fleming, is a free pre-order on Kindle. Although it looks like it is mostly a sample of another book, the letters look like they might be interesting (and not in the other book).

Book Description
Julia Spencer-Fleming burst onto the mystery scene with her debut, In the Bleak Midwinter, garnering almost every award imaginable. Since then, her Clare Fergusson/Russ Van Alstyne series has taken suspense and heart-tugging to the next level, making for truly satisfying reading. The newest installment, ONE WAS A SOLDIER, is available April 2011.

In this eBook you’ll find a preview of ONE WAS A SOLDIER along with a special note from Julia Spencer-Fleming and exclusive new content--letters exchanged between the characters of One Was a Soldier and the previous novel in the series, I Shall Not Want.

Read more about ONE WAS A SOLDIER …At the Millers Kill Community Center, local veterans gather to work on adjusting to life after war. Dr. George Stillman is denying that the head wound he received has left him with something worse than simple migraines. Officer Eric McCrea is battling to keep his constant rage from affecting his life as a cop, and as a father. High school track star Will Ellis is looking for some reason to keep on living after losing both legs to an IED. And down-on-her- luck Tally McNabb has brought home a secret—a fatal one.

Reverend Clare Fergusson has returned from Iraq with a head full of bad memories that she’s using alcohol to wipe out. Police Chief Russ Van Alstyne just wants Clare to settle down and get married—to him. But after tragedy strikes, Clare sides with the other vets against him. Now, both Clare and Russ are faced with a case that’s very personal – and the results could prove devastating … for them and for their relationship.

The Guilt Free 3, by Lisa Lillien, is another teaser title: a mini-cookbook with three recipes (at least it's better than many samples I've downloaded on cookbooks that never get out of the chapter on the author and maybe part of a chapter on items to have in your kitchen, without ever letting you see how the recipes are formatted or how involved they are).

Book Description
Hungry Girl The Guilt Free 3: Three Dishes Under 300 Calories. Teaser Bonus! Hungry for the next Hungry Girl cookbook? This teaser bonus is the perfect-sized helping to tide you over! With three delicious recipes taken straight from the latest book, each one less than 300 hundred calories, what more can you ask for?!?

Bargain book:

Inheritance by Simon Tolkien is just $2.99 (from $11.99) for the US Kindle

Quote:

Synopsis:
A complex mystery of deception and betrayal that follows the court case of a young man set to hang for the murder of his father.

When a famed Oxford historian is found dead in his study one night, all evidence points to his son, Stephen. About to be disinherited from the family fortune, Stephen returns to home after a long estrangement—and it happens to be the night his father is shot to death. When his fingerprints are found on the murder weapon, Stephen’s guilt seems undeniable. But there were five other people in the manor house at the time, and as their stories slowly emerge—along with the revelation that the deceased man was involved in a deadly hunt for a priceless relic in Northern France at the end of World War II—the race is on to save Stephen from a death sentence.

Everyone has a motive, and no one is telling the truth.

Unwilling to sit by and watch the biased judge condemn Stephen to death, an ageing police inspector decides to travel from England to France to find out what really happened in that small French village in 1945—and what artifact could be so valuable it would be worth killing for.

Author Simon Tolkien received rave reviews for his first legal thriller, The Final Witness. Now, in The Inheritance, Tolkien sharpens his craft even more, deftly weaving psychological suspense and family drama to create a mystery steeped in memories, betrayal, and the long shadow of the past. Part courtroom drama and part historical thriller, The Inheritance is a dark, dynamic thriller that tests the strength of blood ties, loyalty, and revenge.
