Free (Kindle/Nook/Sony) From the Ashes [Adventure/Conspiracy Thriller]

ATDrake · 01-20-2012, 01:39 AM

From the Ashes by Jeremy Burns, looks like one of those Da Vinci Code-esque adventure/conspiracy historically-based "mystery"/treasure-hunt sorts of thrillers. This is free courtesy of The Fiction Studio, a small imprint set up by Lou Aronica who used to be the sf/fantasy editor for one of the Big 6 (Bantam or William Morrow/AvonNova, IIRC).

Currently free @ Amazon UK, will likely show up in the main store and also at B&N, with the possibility of also ending up at Sony, if previous TFS offerings are anything to go by..

Description
A DEADLY CONSPIRACY

Graduate students Jonathan and Michael Rickner, sons of eminent archeologist Sir William Rickner, are no strangers to historical mysteries and archeological adventures. But when Michael is discovered dead in his Washington, D.C. apartment, Jon refuses to believe the official ruling of suicide. Digging deeper into his brother’s work, he discovers evidence that Michael was murdered to keep his dissertation research buried.

A DEVASTATING NATIONAL SECRET

Joined by Michael’s fiancée Mara Ellison, Jon travels to New York where he uncovers the threads of a deadly Depression-era conspiracy – one entangling the Hoover Administration, the Rockefellers, and the rise of Nazi Germany – and the elite cadre of assassins that still guard its unspeakable secret.

THE LABYRINTHINE PATH TO THE TRUTH

Finding themselves in the crosshairs of the same men who killed Michael, Jon and Mara must navigate a complex web of historical cover-ups and modern-day subterfuge, outwitting and outrunning their all-powerful pursuers as they race through the monuments and museums of Manhattan in a labyrinthine treasure hunt to discover the last secret of John D. Rockefeller, Jr., before their enemies can bury the truth – and them – forever.

Now also free @ B&N. Looks like this may be the 1st in a series of planned "Jonathan Rickner Thriller"s.

Anyone read this? Do Jon and Mara fall in love?

This seems like the kind of perfectly good story that gets ruined by gratuitous romance. I don't know why, I just have that feeling about it.

How to make it be available in Amazon UK?

koland · 04-13-2012, 12:31 PM

You can't buy from the Amazon UK Kindle store unless you are in the UK. If you are in the UK, it is already free there, you don't have to "make it available" or whatever...

Buy it from the US store (it's free for those in NYC, at the least).
