Adventure Books offering free e-books!


Bob over at Adventure Books, publishers extrodinaire (publishers of Escape Velocity Magazine) was telling me that Tor isn't the only one stepppin up offering quality e-books for free. So I asked for details and he sent me the information I crave..

Free Book Links:
There are no forms, questions, or baloney. We just decided to do the Cory Doctorow thing.
'Robinson Crusoe - Special Redux Edition' - The classic tale by Daniel Defoe, re-edited for modern readers. We did not 'modernize' the book, but only made it flow more smoothly with normal editing. Dialogue is now attributed, and some of the longer sections about God and Salvation were edited. Illustrations by N.C. Wyeth, from Defoe's First Edition of 1719.
'Say Goodbye to the Sun' - Sci-fi high adventure, originally written between 1978-82. It was lost for more than twenty years until a previously unknown copy turned up in the attic of a house in Seattle. Published in 2003 after a re-edit by Geoff Nelder of Great Britain. Some of the inventions and situations in the book have become reality. It's the story of a first manned mission to a planet beyond our solar system. Good and evil story, basically. Fully illustrated.
