Thanks for sharing, always looking for new authors with the free e-books.

None of those are new, and I've especially been a Steve Berry fan for a few years. Try that one, and I'm sure you will like it. It's what Dan Brown might have written if he had been a touch more intelligent. Very readable, and smarter, but not so much that you need a degree to follow his plots. There was one book that has them find a sunken Mayan city and battle true believers, etc, that was totally unbelievable, but so well written that I couldn't put it down. Can't remember the title. I can never remember titles. What is wrong with me? (Don't answer!)

I used to be a huge Steve Berry fan, but his last two books, Venetian Betrayal and Charlemagne Pursuit, were pretty bad. Templar Legacy is a good read.

I noticed these three when picking up the mystery 3-for-1 bundle that someone else posted about. Snagged them while I was logged into the Sony store. And, checked to see that they are also free at Amazon.com.

Thank you for sharing- I was going to buy the Templar Legacy, laid it off a couple of times, and now I'm definitely having it

MSWallack · 10-05-2009, 10:47 AM

I enjoyed Steve Berry until The Alexandria Link which I found to be very anti-Semitic in tone and content.

I didn't know that- I'm going to read the thing for work-out-of-work (I'd like to write about the perception of medieval history in media

), and this is a rather important point. Thank you

I wrote a fairly lengthy analysis of this last year (I've never got around to finishing the promised 2nd part on the unquestioning adoption of the Palestinian narrative of history).

Nicely written, and wow, that's awful.

MSWallack · 10-05-2009, 12:40 PM

Thank you. As I mentioned, I've never finished part 2. Each time I try writing it, the post grows from an open-letter blog post into a dissertation. I keep trying to find a way to make points briefly ... and I keep getting frustrated and moving on to other topics.

I don't have a Sony, but do have an ECO Reader which can read ePubs. Is this offer any good to me? I notice they have their own download mechanism, so I wonder if they want some special number or something which comes from a Sony reader.

Regards, Alex
