Done reading, and I loved it. The ending is good, it leaves enough open threads for different endings... I don`t need anything altered.
Let me know if you plan another book, I`ll volunteer for proofreading!
And thank your wife, she did an excellent job :-)

Glad you liked it!

I may take you up on your offer.

Bought it on Amazon - queued to read. Could take a while, though

Just one point - did you raise the price recently? Because I paid $5.05 for it.
Ok, international Kindle form way over here

But I thought the Whispernet premium for non-USA customers was only $1.99?

Great reviews and FREE, no reason not to download it!

MetaGame

If you don't have a kindle, you can get it in a bunch of different formats (e.g. epub, pdf, etc) : Samlandstrom.com

Note: I advertised MetaGame on another thread on here, but the title said it cost $1. Well, now it's free and we all know there's a big difference. (;

BTW, it won't be free forever!

/////////
Blurb:
Life is a game, literally. Winners earn immortality, while losers are condemned to aging and death. D_Light, a gifted player, knows this all too well and he's willing to do anything to win-even kill. It is no wonder then that when given the chance to enter a MetaGame-an exclusive, high-stakes, anything goes contest-he's quick to jump at the opportunity. The MetaGame starts out well enough for D_Light, the first quest being to hunt down a dangerous fugitive, but through his own ambition, the tables turn and D_Light finds himself the renegade. Now, D_Light pits himself against his world to find the truth behind "The Game" and must decide between winning it and saving what's left of his humanity.

This novel blends emerging political and cultural trends, such as gaming culture, globalization, and the ever-increasing hegemony of corporations, with technological trends, such as genetic engineering, artificial intelligence, and virtual reality. Emerging from this stew is an original world to explore through the point of view of several of its "players".

Wow, MetaGame is now #28 on the Amazon Store overall and yesterday it was at 300 and some. Seems like it has a shot at #1. So what do you say? Who wants to knock the newest Stephenie Meyer and Dan Brown book down a notch? (;

Well, since it's free I grabbed it. I missed out of Boyd Morrison's books when they were free and regretted it.

This book is a great read

I personally am looking forward to the sequel (assuming there is one to come)

That's what you'd think, huh?

I'm not going to be waiting next to my phone though (actually no one does that anymore thanks to cell phones).
