Free (Kindle/Kobo/iTunes UK) 18 books from Orion [Kids/YA SFnal, Sports, Nature, Etc]
Well, I don't know what's going on, whether it's some sort of anniversary promotion or a multi-store glitch or whatever, but today in the UK, there are no fewer than 18 kids/YA-level titles, free courtesy of publisher Hachette's Orion Children's Books and Hodder imprints for you or any kiddies you know to enjoy.
It's a mix of mostly tween-level fiction novels (with one nature exploration non-fic guide), and mainly sfnal, with portions of a sci-fi dystopia save-the-world series, several historical supernatural fantasy titles, some literary coming-of-age & psychological drama thrillers, and a large chunk of a contemporary sports team drama series. There's also a freebie audiobook short story available only for the UK. Currently all available free @ Amazon UK, iTunes UK, and Kobo UK, but apparently not any of the usual EU/Oceania countries I spot-checked, though YMMV. ETA 3: Now also free @ B&N UK, and it's reported that they may also be free in other Commonwealth countries via Kobo (not available to Canadians, though). NB: Linkage for B&N is not completely up yet. Their UK site started developing issues when I started checking, and none of these were free there, so I'm just going to finally eat my breakfast and slowly add in the links over the next couple of hours. ETA: Linkage for B&N UK is now up, and I'd also check Google Play UK if I were you (and had a working Google Play UK account). And this has been the (late!) selected 3rd (non-repeat) free ebook thread of the day. Because there are some really interesting-looking YA sfnal titles by established YA SF authors in this one, as well as a science-promoting nature book, both of which automatically nets it bonus points, but also for just being a sudden influx of 18 free books in general. Enjoy!
Bonus exclusive audio freebie, a fantasy short by Edward Cox (ISFDB): The Relic Guild: Hemlock @ Amazon UK and thence to Audible UK where I can't provide you a direct link without having an account there. ETA 2: @ Audible UK link helpfully provided by koland, thanks! Hemlock is a free, short introduction to the world of Edward Cox's The Relic Guild, a debut fantasy novel that is also available from Audible. This exclusive prologue is only available as an Audio download. Charlie Hemlock, an out-of-luck minor criminal has been hired by a mysterious and terrifying stranger to kidnap a young woman, for purposes unspecified. But the Labyrinth is a dangerous place, and Charlie and his companions may find that not everyone is happy with their work... To find out more about the Labyrinth and its mysterious inhabitants, be sure to download The Relic Guild. Last edited by ATDrake; 07-16-2015 at 01:29 AM. |

Not sure why but I was able to get a few, but then I only tested a few.
Only worked with Kobo. And I'm not in the UK (But do live in the Commonwealth) |
