I just finished the Palmyra Impact. I really liked it and will read the two others books.

Boyd, thank you for this book. I hope that you will get published and that you will keep writing

Here the review I left on Goodreads :

Quite good. The author did some serious research for this book and it shows nicely.
The main characters were all a little bit too polished and artificial for my taste; I never really connected to them. I liked a lot more some of the secondary characters.
But the fast paced story more than make up for that. I couldn’t put the book down till late at night, and finished it in less than two days.
A great reading, you might want to set it aside for your next beach vacations. As a plus, you will learn what to do if a tsunami is coming your way.

I just finished The Palmyra Impact. I couldn't put it down, even though it made me horribly anxious about the lovely Hawaii I remember from my honeymoon!

Many thanks for the book! Good stuff!

Hmmm , 1/3th in The Ark now (and loving it).... Have to make Adamas my second then.

Thanks, MrDrWatson! Since you're like Tyler, you must lead a pretty exciting life! I should get you to tell me some stories.

Thanks, mklynds! Actually, if you ever buy anything from the US Amazon, you can leave a review for any product. You don't have to buy that particular product from Amazon to leave a review for it.

Thanks for the Goodreads review, Faenad! With support like I'm getting from readers on Mobileread, I am definitely going to continue writing.

Thanks, Archergal! Unfortunately, something like what happens in The Palmyra Impact will happen someday, maybe tomorrow, maybe in a million years, but I hope it's not before I get a few more trips to Hawaii.

Thanks, ErwinOtten! The Adamas Blueprint is more of a ordinary-guy-in-an-extraordinary-situation kind of story, rather than a sprawling action/adventure like The Ark.

You should always download freebies as soon as you see them. You never know how long they'll be up for and they all usually get taken down eventually.

I have a folder of non-Kindle source freebies on my computer just waiting to be transfered

Congratulations Mr. Morrison. From the feedback here, it is well deserved.

I also wish to commend you on how you've handled yourself in this forum. You have displayed a good deal of character and honor. You worked with the readers to deliver different formats to allow a wide audience to read your books for free. You also allowed those same readers to promote and praise your book as opposed to constant self-promotion and thread bumping. By allowing your talent and hard work to speak for you, you have become a shining example for other aspiring writers.

May you find continued success in your writing career.

No, even if a book is pulled, you should still have access to it in Manage Your Kindle on Amazon.com
