Although I did like the idea that the US Government took the Web 2.0 idea of Advertisement revenue rather than taxing.

Thanks to winspiration for the Mars Girl comments. I'm glad you liked it.

And I wouldn't want my head wired either.

Read it, liked it

So everybody out there who hasn't read it already and likes a fast paced scary (but oh so humorous) look into our near future......

Read it, it's free

and it's really worth a read

It's on my TBR list. I'm gonna have to quit my job (and disconnect my home DSL) soon in order to get caught up on my reading!

Sorry to revive an old thread, but I just read this book and I have to say it is fantastic. The writing style reminds me somewhat of Scalzi - quick and humorous - with a good near future story.

I've checked the link given earlier in the thread (marsgirl.us) and it is no longer functioning. I googled Jeff Garrity, there's a web site out there (jeffgarrity.com, .us) that has a "coming soon" page that hasn't been updated since 2009. Can't find anything else on Mr. Garrity - although if I could, I would read it.

Mr. Garrity, if you are still out there, I loved the book and would like to see more from you. Maybe you should list the Kindle version in the Amazon store and I'd gladly rate it 5 stars.

By the way, I found the book originally on manybooks.net. The Kindle version (.azw) there is not formatted properly, the entire text is part of the TOC (underlined with a link to the beginning). I opted instead for the .mobi version, which is Kindle compatible and its formatting is fine. If you need help with the kindle formatting, let me know I'll be happy to help.

Thanks for the message barkndog and your good words and offer of assistance. Sorry about the site being down. I'll look into that. I have yet to put the book on Amazon but have been planning to for a while. I'm glad you liked the book. I'm at work on a second book but I'm not sure when it will be done.

I've written a follow up to Mars Girl, called Barker Must Die, and it's available at my web site: jeffgarrity.com. There are also three new short stories at the site. I've also revised Mars Girl and improved it quite a bit. It's available for $2.99 at Amazon.

I have completely revised Mars Girl, and written a follow-up novella called Barker Must Die. A portion of Mars Girl and the entire Barker Must Die novella, plus some short stories, are available free on my web site: jeffgarrity.com

The entire Mars Girl novel is available at Amazon.
