It all started out so simply, so innocently. This is what happens when I check Amazon for a free version of a book:

The Martian by A. Rowley Hilliard and Allen Glasser

$0.00 http://www.amazon.com/Martian-Rowley.../dp/B00AQM5LGK

and then:

George du Maurier - Wikipedia

"George Louis Palmella Busson du Maurier (6 March 1834 – 8 October 1896) was a French-born British cartoonist and author, known for his cartoons in Punch and also for his novel Trilby. He was the father of actor Gerald du Maurier and grandfather of the writers Angela du Maurier and Dame Daphne du Maurier. He was also the father of Sylvia Llewelyn Davies and grandfather of the five boys who inspired J.M. Barrie's Peter Pan."

Peter Ibbetson – 1891, adapted in 1935 by Henry Hathaway, in a film starring Gary Cooper
Trilby – 1894
The Martian – 1897
Social Pictorial Satire- 1898 (Harper's New Monthly Magazine)
