Good free Sci-fi?

I'm not sure, but unfortunately for me it doesn't make any difference as I don't have an US credit card.

You have to have a Kindle registered to your account.

Reminds me of John Brunner's dystopias.

I was wondering whether my application vanished into the aether.

I have reviews of a number of the Baen free books at www.BooksForABuck.com. You can check out the reviews and see what I have to say. I second the recommendations that you check out Weber's Honor Harrington (especially the early books) and some of Keith Laumer's are really funny.

I'm not as much a Ringo fan because I think his politics overwhelm his stories but he writes a solid military action story.

If you don't mind stepping up from completely free to extremely cheap, check out the SF books published by BooksForABuck.com. The first month of availability, we offer our books for only $1, generally increasing to $3.99 after that introductory month.
