Free books are a great way to drive me to buy later material. If I find an author whose writing I enjoy, I remain loyal to them. But there's extra cost in terms of time involved with trying out a new author (investing time and money in discovering authors you don't enjoy leaves someone with limited free time for reading very risk averse), and lowering the monetary cost definitely offsets that. David Webber and the baen free library hooked me this way.

I'm glad you found Neptune Crossing via the free download. Hope you enjoy it.
I have taken advantage of many free downloads myself to check out an author or a book I might not quite have wanted to spring for, or maybe wouldn't have seen. And I know that I've picked up a number of new readers from my free books. Seems like a win-win.
