Soldier of the Brell on Amazon & free for a limited time!

David Scholes just dropped me a note that I thought might be interesting to those who have enjoyed his fiction on BMU in the past:

• I've scheduled my "Soldier of the Brell" novella to be available as a free download from Amazon for the 3 days from 12.01am Friday 16 November (US Pacific Time) : http://www.amazon.com/Soldier-of-the-Brell-ebook/dp/B00A1TR85K/ref=tmm_kin_title_0

I really can not say enough about this book.  Scholes has masterfully created an alternate universe where the Norse gods were not legends of old but a race of warriors with almost godlike technology.  The names are different, but you many of the legendary Norse gods in the ancient race called Brell who are long lived and have developed defensive and offensive weapons that make the wearer all but invincible.  With this armament, The Brell's last warrior fights true evil in unimaginable numbers.  

The Soldier of the Brell is certainly worth taking a look at and if you enjoy military science fiction and conflict  spread out over the millennia then you are in for a treat.  Plus the fact that for a limited time you can obtain the tale for free!

Catherine Asaro's "The Spacetime Pool" available online

More and more authors are coming to realize that if they want to reach the biggest audience possible, they have to consider adding the internet/web to their strategy. As the prelim listing for the Nebula awards makes it's rounds I see several author that aren't afraid to wade in early. Take for example Catherine Asaro. I was just reading in SFScope's blog that she has release her novella The Spacetime Pool on her Facebook page. It is well worth searching it out. My only complaint is that the story was released first in chapters as kind of a "here it is, if you like it, buy it" idea. Nothing wrong with that....the problem is that the rest of the story has been released in the same manner....and in slightly different places on her page. I know....its a BS complaint, however if I am a voting member for Nebula or Hugo awards, I just would reather sit back and read the offering in one go and not have to search for parts. But that is me.

Oh and if anyone finds it listed differently let me know and I will updat asap.
