Radix by A. A. Attanasio (ISFDB, Wikipedia) is the Nebula Award-nominated 1st in his highly acclaimed Radix Tetrad (Wikipedia) of science fiction novels set in the far-future of an almost unimaginably altered Earth, this installment a sort of coming-of-age journey of self-discovery for a young man as he moves through various stages of increasingly elevated personal development, free courtesy of publisher Phoenix Pick Press, who are reprinting it from its 1981 William Morrow edition.

This is their featured Free Book of the Month for February. This has previously been offered free thrice, in 2011, 2012, and 2012 again, but it's always nice to see a quality freebie re-offered for those who missed it earlier.

Currently free throughout the month of February directly @ the publisher's webpage (DRM-free ePub & Mobi bundle available worldwide in exchange for your valid email address)

There's also a tie-in deal for the rest of the Tetrad for just $7.99 $6.50 this time around, though you may already have several of the other parts of it if you've been following the PPP freebies for a few years. Still, it's a pretty good deal if you don't have any of the rest of the books. ETA: and there's an additional deal for the quartet + 2 backlist standalone novels, originally out from Hodder & Stoughton in 1994 & 1997.

Description
A young man's odyssey of self discovery in a world eerily alien, yet hauntingly familiar.

Set thirteen centuries in the future, A. A. Attanasio meticulously creates a brilliantly realized Earth, rich in detail and filled with beings brought to life with intense energy.

In this strange and beautiful world, Sumner Kagan will change from an adolescent outcast to a warrior with god-like powers and in the process take us on an epic and transcendent journey.
