The Brilliance, book one of a trilogy is currently $1.99 in Kindle form at Amazon. The second book is at the same price.
Gillian Flynn gave it a good recommendation, so... okay, that means little to me, but it does sound interesting enough. |

IMO, Gone Girl was worst of her books. Not saying it's crappy, just that the other two were so much better. |

Thank you for saying this. I was so disappointed with Gone Girl. The mystery (the part that interests me) ends halfway through, and the rest of it is just horrible people doing awful things to each other and to innocent bystanders.

The Passage: A Novel (Book One of The Passage Trilogy)
by Justin Cronin is $1.99 at Amazon http://www.amazon.com/Passage-Novel-...ds=The+passage Below is the blurb: NAMED ONE OF THE TEN BEST NOVELS OF THE YEAR BY TIME AND LIBRARY JOURNAL—AND ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY The Washington Post • Esquire • U.S. News & World Report • NPR/On Point • St. Louis Post-Dispatch • BookPage An epic and gripping tale of catastrophe and survival, The Passage is the story of Amy—abandoned by her mother at the age of six, pursued and then imprisoned by the shadowy figures behind a government experiment of apocalyptic proportions. But Special Agent Brad Wolgast, the lawman sent to track her down, is disarmed by the curiously quiet girl and risks everything to save her. As the experiment goes nightmarishly wrong, Wolgast secures her escape—but he can’t stop society’s collapse. And as Amy walks alone, across miles and decades, into a future dark with violence and despair, she is filled with the mysterious and terrifying knowledge that only she has the power to save the ruined world. “Enthralling . . . You will find yourself captivated.”—Stephen King “Magnificently unnerving . . . The Stand meets The Road.”—Entertainment Weekly “Great entertainment . . . [a] big, engrossing read.”—The Dallas Morning News “Mythic storytelling.”—San Francisco Chronicle |

ETA: Looks like a bug at Amazon. Lots of other books are now showing up as eTextbooks. Their website currently shows 248,438 eTextbooks available. Last edited by jhowell; 01-30-2016 at 02:38 PM. |
