Free Sony preview of Terminal Freeze
I just noticed at Sony's bookstore on the main page that they are offering 4 free previews of Lincoln Child's new novel Terminal Freeze that is due for release on Feb 24.
2 Free chapters per week until it is released.
The question is, does providing free previews entice you to buy the ebook when it is released ?

It did for me when they offered the same kind of sales strategy not too long ago.

It worked for me as well when they offered Rules of deception by Christopher Reich this way -- after 6 chapters, I had to finish the book

Lincoln Child is on my (very short) list of "I'll buy anything they write".

I bought Lincoln Child's previous novel Deep Storm during WH Smith's half price sale so that looks like my next-to-read ebook after I finish The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, so I can get ready for Terminal Freeze

Ditto... Him and Douglas Preston. I am trying to find out when Cementary Dance is going to be released though I am having no luck.

Chapters 2 and 3 are now available at the Sony ebook store. Prologue and chapter 1 still available in case you missed them last week
Think I might stack up Prologue and chapters 1-7 and read them all at once before release date on Feb 24.

Three small chapters and I'm already hooked... I hate free chapters :P ... and I have to wait three weeks for the release.

Anyone has suggestions of novels from Lincoln Child? Any order to look for in his books?

If you're hooked, then Sony succeeded wonderfully with you. This marketing strategy is very effective for addictive readers such as myself.

I don't read horror, but now I'm tempted.
