The Tor.com eBook Club Selection for May is...
A FIRE UPON THE DEEP by Vernor Vinge!

Now you can read and own Vernor Vinge’s Hugo Award-winning seminal space opera.

The universe has a natural limit on the speed of light...but what if it does the same for the speed of thought?

Earth discovers it exists within a “Slow Zone,” making faster-than-light travel AND super-intelligence impossible. But life is nothing if not adaptable, and there just may be a diabolical way for humanity to reach the wild marvels of the Beyond and take its place amongst galactic civilization...

Download A FIRE UPON THE DEEP here, available from May 9 to May 15

I downloaded both the kindle and EPUB files. EPUB was 1.87MB. For kindle was a 5.09MB mobi.mobi.az1 file. My first experience (unpleasant) with this file type. Didn't notice what is was until it was until I used "send to my kindle" for my iPad only to have it rejected by Amazon.

June's book is "Old Man's War" by John Scalzi

Yeah, that's a little disappointing for me. I got Old Man's War for free ages back. Think it was a bookbub promotion or something.

AnemicOak · 06-15-2017, 11:42 AM

Tor.com gave it away too, back years ago when they did a bunch of free eBooks when the website first started. Nice for folks that didn't get it then though. It's great that they're willing to give out books like this.

lkmiller · 06-16-2017, 07:52 AM

Yup, I got it back in 2008 in Tor.com's big initial promo. (That's how I discovered Scalzi and some other authors I now read regularly.) But I grabbed it again since there might be some corrections and I may read it again some time.

The July free ebook is now available. It's Jacqueline Carey's Kushiel's Dart.

It's a unfortunate choice. I tried reading once and I had to give up as it was rather boring and nothing actually happened. I got to chapter 11 and stopped.

I liked the entire series. I can understand how someone wouldn't like it and there is a lot of building at the beginning so I guess I can see how you say nothing happened although not necessarily agree.

ottdmk · 07-13-2017, 03:33 PM

I've been curious about the series for quite a while, so this is a welcome addition to my library.

I found it slow and dull and no likable characters. I've read plenty of fantasy where there wasn't much action, but the characters were good. Here, the characters had nothing going for them.
