First one is also free on Amazon, blurb for it:

Few Are Chosen, K'Barthan Series: Part 1
Quote:
The Pan of Hamgee isn't paranoid. There must be some people in K'Barth who aren't out to get him. Unfortunately, right now, he's not sure where they are.

His family are dead, his existence is treason and he does the only thing he can to survive –getaway driving. As if being on the run isn't bad enough, he finds a magic thimble. He decides to keep it, which can only mean trouble. Sure enough, it does. He unwittingly sets himself on a collision course with Lord Vernon, K'Barth's despot ruler.

The Pan is forced to make choices and stand up for his beliefs. It's a challenge, since previously he had no beliefs he was aware of. Faced with a stark moral dilemma, he realises his new found integrity may even stick ... if he can stop running.

Written in British English with some light swearing: Suggested cinema rating, PG: first novel in a complete humorous science fiction fantasy series of four books.
Second one is $4.99 on Amazon, here's the blurb for it too:

The Wrong Stuff, K'Barthan Series: Part 2
Quote:
The Pan of Hamgee is not a natural knight in shining armour. Yet he has escaped from police custody in K’Barth, switched realities and foiled Lord Vernon’s attempt to kidnap Ruth, the Chosen One, from the Festival Hall. Pretty good, he thinks.

However, Ruth thinks otherwise. Being pursued by Lord Vernon is bad enough. Now, thanks to The Pan, she’s on the run. They are both alive, of course, but with Lord Vernon on their tail neither of them can be sure how long for.

To save K'Barth and Ruth, the woman of his dreams, The Pan must introduce her to the Candidate, who is prophesied to be the man of her dreams. And he must do it fast – before Lord Vernon finds her. But the gentleman in question is in hiding and no-one knows where. Only The Pan can find him, if he can bring himself to unite them.

Written in British English with some light swearing: Suggested cinema rating, PG: second novel in a complete series of four science fiction comedy fantasy teen & young adult adventure books. This one contains a dash of clean romance.

This novel has a cliff hanger ending, but as stated, the series is complete and everything is tied up at the end of book 4.
OP's link has Mobi, ePub and PDF download links for both.

When I get around to them, after finishing my Foreigner binge, if I like them I'll buy 3 and 4 with my Amazon credit I got with Swagbucks.

Now THAT'S how it should be done: Click the link, get the books, and get out.

No email bulls**t, No advertising bullsh**t, no hassling bullsh**t, no search-the-page-forever-to-find-the-darn-things bulls**t. JUST A NICE, CLEAN, QUICK DOWNLOAD AND OUTTA THERE!


-----------------
If I enjoy these, I'll buy the remaining two from that website as a sign that I support this imaginative, innovative way of giving away free ebooks.

Actually, you were supposed to sign up for the newsletter to get the link to the page with the books on it. Bizzybody sort of short circuited that process.

Then again, the author gives away the first book anyways, and all of the short stories.

So is the 3rd part available yet via Amazon or some other like bookseller site?
Edit: never mind. I found them at Smashwords. Apparently so far there are four parts.

I didn't know that, but then again it's been a long time since I bought anything there.

That's good to know - I mean, the information you provided.

Much of what was on the Baen Free Library no longer is since their deal with amazon. The contents of all the pack-in CD-ROMs *except* the Cryoburn one remain free, but officially you can only download the full ISO disk images instead of individual book files.

Baen has been adding new free ebooks but still not as many as they used to have.
