I still prefer my histories and some of the better scifi/fantasy novels in the dead-tree variety. I've also found, unfortunately, that 99% of the free Kindle books out there are either classics that I tried to avoid reading in highschool, or so poorly written/edited as to almost be unreadable and not worth the free pricetag.RabidAlienhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07035887632706442114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35333449.post-54833750699945658032013-03-29T22:08:59.384-04:002013-03-29T22:08:59.384-04:00LOVED The Flux Engine, it was just a whole lot of ...LOVED The Flux Engine, it was just a whole lot of fun. I liked the Sequoyah trilogy by Sabrina Chase better than The Scent of Metal. Terms of Enlistment was good as was Old Habits, Terms was better than Habits. Check them out, certainly.<br /><br />One thing I have to say, the Kindle versions are generally cheaper than the paper versions but paper will never go completely away in my world.<br /><br />Thanks for dropping by RA!Larryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11308171394825291900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35333449.post-87184222060921754992013-03-29T21:28:23.149-04:002013-03-29T21:28:23.149-04:00Of all that you've listed, the only one I'...Of all that you've listed, the only one I've read was "Space Eldritch", and must admit, while the writing was good, the whole horror genre just isn't my cuppa tea either. I bought it cuz Mr. Correia had also book-bombed "Crimson Pact" series, which is a lot closer to my style (various authors, various genres, from steampunk to post-apocalyptic to sci-fi to urban, but all centered around demon warfare...the good guys aren't always who you think, don't always win, and at least one storyline follows a demon as the main character)....EXCELLENT series, and inspired me to put fingers to keyboard and pound out one of my own. Been a while since I'd written anything.<br /><br />Gonna have to check out the rest of your summer reading list there!RabidAlienhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07035887632706442114noreply@blogger.com
