That was a terrific book. It was loaded on the second-hand Sony reader that I bought last year and I put off registering the device until I had finished reading it! I want to get the sequel, but haven't done so yet.

Did you really buy
On Basilisk Station? It's one of the free books at Baen's site.

Now this is what I've bought in May:
On May 2, I bought a bunch of multi-format books at Fictionwise:
- Fracture by Roxanne Smolen
- Milford Spitz and the Very Fast Machine by James S. Hoch
- Tornado Bait (A Tina Anderson Mystery #1) by Amy Eastlake
- In Over My Head (Chesapeake Conference Center Mystery Series Book 1) by Diane Marquette
- The Secret Portrait (Fairbairn/Cameron Mystery Series Book 1) by Lillian Stewart Carl
- Sten (Sten Series #1) by Allan Cole & Chris Bunch
- What Thin Partitions (The Hilarious Misadventures of Ralph Kennedy Book 1) by Mark Clifton
- Runner's Moon: Jebaral (Book 1) by Linda Mooney
I'm trying out a couple of new series and I hope that they tempt me to get the rest of the books.
And, from Amazon, I've picked up:
- Once Bitten, Twice Shy by Jennifer Rardin (free)
- Weapons of Choice by John Birmingham (free)
- Elric: The Stealer of Souls by Michael Moorcock (free)
- Joy's Life Diet by Joy Bauer
- The Huntress by Shiloh Walker (free)
- The Second Ship (Rho Agenda: Book One) by Richard Phillips
- The Merchant of Death (Pendragon, book one) by D J McHale (free)
So far this month, I've spent more money at Fictionwise than at Amazon. It makes up for how much I spent last month when a couple of the series that I follow brought out new books and I just *had* to have them.
