Free on Kindle - Atomic Lobster

koland · 12-10-2009, 12:01 PM

OK, it's not technically free, it's a penny. But, it's the free edition: Atomic Lobster Free Edition with Bonus Material ($0.01), by Tim Dorsey. There's no description yet (so I pulled in the one from the normal edition), but the file size says 558K and there is no indication that this is just a sample (after all, the book itself has been out a while and is only 371K). This one is a pre-order and won't be delivered until December 29, but I went ahead and one-clicked for my copy (if it does go down in price, it'll only be a penny less).

Book Description
Why is everyone rushing to flee Tampa on a cruise ship to hell?

Serge is back with a bullet, torn between homicide and souvenirs. So is Coleman, torn between getting hammered and getting more hammered. Then there's good ol' Jim Davenport, the E-Team, the Diaz Brothers, and Johnny Vegas, the Accidental Virgin, cranking up the fevered action as the pot boils over on a street called Lobster Lane.

It's reunion time in the Sunshine State, and we're not just talking the family jamboree of that blood-soaked criminal clan, the McGraws, whose nastiest, meanest member is finally released from prison and heads south bent on revenge. On top of it all, the government is covering up a growing list of mysterious victims across Florida who may or may not be connected to a nefarious plot being hatched against national security.

But wait! There's more on the horizon! Who is the oddly familiar femme fatale named Rachael? Is Serge wrong that guns, drugs, and strippers don't mix? What sets the Non-Confrontationalists off on a rampage? What finally brings Coleman and Lenny together? Will they succeed in building the biggest bong ever? And can Serge surf a rogue wave to victory?

So batten the hatches, don the life jackets, and take cover as all these questions and more are answered in the latest adventure from the acclaimed author of Hurricane Punch.

hmm.. wont let me pre-order if i do not have a CC on file (but i do have a gift card balance), even though it currently shows it as free for me (shows the list price as a penny, but kindle price as free). anyone else have this problem?

This is #10 in the series. I read the first one...........pretty violent. Moves quickly.

Why can't they just give away the first in a series so you can follow the characters?

Connallmac · 12-10-2009, 05:53 PM

I just pre-ordered for $0.00.

This is (today?) a free ebook when pre-ordering, so I went and ordered a copy, which will be available to download on Dec. 29.

The next one is coming out early next year (although not in the Kindle catalog, just yet), so I guess they wanted to encourage people to get ready, without you thinking you needed to read 10 books first.

I too, though, would prefer the first in the series be free.

I had heard about the author some time ago and just decided to buy his first book 'Florida Roadkill'. Will read it on my vacation next week.
