Downpour Deal of the Week

• $4.95 - The Worthing Saga - Orson Scott Card - exp 25 Nov

Note: it appears that Downpour is going back to Mondays for their weekly deal. That would explain why the last deal ran for nearly two weeks.

It was a miracle of science that permitted human beings to live, if not forever then for a long, long time. Some people, anyway. The rich, the powerful, they lived their lives at the rate of one year every ten. Somec created two societies: that of people who lived out their normal span and died, and those who slept away the decades, skipping over the intervening years and events. It allowed great plans to be put into motion. It allowed interstellar empires to be built. It came near to destroying humanity.

After eons of decadence and stagnation, a few seed ships were sent out to save our species. Each carried human embryos, supplies, teaching robots, and one man. The Worthing Saga is the story of one of these men, Jason Worthing, and the world he found for the seed he carried.

This is a full cast recording, with an afterword read by Orson Scott Card.

Hmmm. It seems ABC has found Audible to be a good promotional tool for their programming. First we got two freebies for "Whodunnit?" Next we got the "Shark Tank" freebie. Now it's ABC news. For all interested in the anniversary, ABC News has an Audible exclusive - "Three Shots Rang Out - The JFK Assassination 50 Years Later." It's hosted (read?) by Diane Sawyer. If you're interested go here and don't delay, as I assume this won't be available long after this week (which is the anniversary, after all).

Enjoy!

I've got yet another Audible freebie for y'all. This one is available for pre-order. The title is "Gabriel: Zero Point: The FREE Prequel Novella: Even Gabriel Trilogy" by Steve Umstead. I'm not familiar with the author or the series but it is definitely a Sci-Fi title (by most anyone's definition, this time). If you are interested it is available here. The release date is scheduled for 12-27-13 and I don't know if it will be free after that (heck I can't promise it'll stay free before then) so if you are interested don't delay.

Enjoy!

Wow, we have an honest-to-goodness Thanksgiving freebie. (Thanks, Koland, I would not have spotted this one without you.) It's also being used for Tantor to show off its new website (currently in Beta), so if you go looking on the regular site for it you won't get it free. The title is "Nothing with Strings" by Bailey White, and it's a collection of short stories broadcast each year on NPR. If you are interested (Thanksgiving is not far away) get it here.

Enjoy!

Welcome to the group, neosverden

Thanks for the heads up on this Harry Potter special. I added it to the OP

Since this sale is for the first book in the series, book two might be next month's special.

For easy navigation is this thread, I keep the OP updated with the latest offers. I'm not around much on weekends, so it might go several days without updates. For the most part, it's up to date.

Again, welcome to the group and keep those specials coming

Downpour Deal of the Week - exp 02 Dec

• $4.95 - John Quincy Adams - Harlow Giles Unger

He fought for Washington, served with Lincoln, witnessed Bunker Hill, and sounded the clarion against slavery on the eve of the Civil War. He negotiated an end to the War of 1812, engineered the annexation of Florida, and won the Supreme Court decision that freed the African captives of La Amistad. He served his nation as minister to six countries, secretary of state, senator, congressman, and president.

John Quincy Adams was all of these things and more. In this masterful biography, award-winning author Harlow Giles Unger reveals Adams as a towering figure in the nation’s formative years and one of the most courageous figures in American history—which is why he ranked first in John F. Kennedy’s Pulitzer Prize–winning Profiles in Courage.

For this magisterial biography, Unger makes use of a little-known national treasure: John Quincy Adams’ diary, started at age ten, giving us an eye-witness account of sixty-five years of critical American history.
