Origins (Spinward Fringe) free on kindle
Has anyone here read it? It looks interesting, and is apparently a trilogy of tales, though it's hard to say how many pages long it would be in pbook format. http://www.amazon.com/Origins-Spinwa...7572693&sr=1-4
Quote:
It is the distant future and one man, Jonas Valent, is letting his life slip by. He is employed by Freeground station as a port traffic controller, a job he took after completing a tour in the military. His only real joy in life is his participation in true-to-life military simulations with a cadre of friends who come together regularly to defeat challenges made to test the brightest military cadets and officers alike. These restricted scenarios stand as an addictive preoccupation that is so enticing that they ignore the potential repercussions of breaking in to participate.

When someone betrays their identities to the Freeground Fleet Admiralty, Jonas and his friends are faced with a far greater challenge: to venture out into the more populated regions of the galaxy to acquire technology and knowledge. They are tasked with laying the groundwork for the Freeground Nation in their efforts to reconnect with the rest of humanity, and to secure the armaments they might need to defend themselves from encroaching enemies.

I liked it
Great art? no. But it does have some interesting twists and turns. A pretty good read, I think.

A recommended series. Books 1-6 are just as good.
