No Dawn for Men: A Novel of Ian Fleming, J.R.R. Tolkien, and Nazi Germany by James LePore & Carlos Davis is their WWII-era historical Real Person Fic action adventure espionage thriller with sfnal/supernatural elements teaming up Exactly Whom It Says In The Subtitle, as MI-6 recruits the future authors of the Lord of the Rings and the James Bond franchise to go undercover to thwart a Nazi plot to retrieve some sort of Macguffin that would give them a terrifying apparently occult-ish weapon, free courtesy of publisher Fiction Studio, an imprint started by former Big 6 editor Lou Aronica (ISFDB, Wikipedia).
This is B&N's Free Fridays selection of the week, and the full blurb claims that it is an International Thriller Award nominee. Currently free, probably just through the weekend @ B&N, and will likely remain exclusive to them, as previous Story Plant/Fiction Studio Free Fridays selections have been. And this has been the (late!) selected 3rd (non-repeat) free ebook thread of the day. Not gonna lie, this sort of literary mash-up author team-up sounds kind of awesome on paper, and hopefully it lives up to that. And we're getting it for free! (For values of "we" that happen to have a US B&N account, that is. But still, free!) ![]() Enjoy! Description In 1938, Nazi Germany prepares to extend its reach far beyond its borders. The key to domination lies in a secret that would make their army not only unbeatable, but un-killable. MI-6, knowing that something potentially devastating is developing, recruits scholar and novelist John Ronald Reuel Tolkien to travel to Germany to find out what this might be, using the German popularity of his children’s novel THE HOBBIT as cover. Joining him there is MI-6 agent Ian Fleming, still years away from his own writing career but posing as a Reuters journalist. Together, Tolkien and Fleming will get to the heart of the secret – and they will face a fury greater than even their prodigious imaginations considered possible. Both an astounding work of suspense and a literary treasure trove to delight fans of either author, NO DAWN FOR MEN is a nonstop adventure. Last edited by ATDrake; 06-17-2016 at 06:06 PM. |

I tried price matching it on Kobo US, and already (amazingly for Kobo), got the price match. Not sure it's really my kind of thing, but it was so weird sounding I thought I might try it some day (and since it is free).

I grabbed it and it downloaded to Nookstudy. Moved to Calibre. It seems this process still works.
