Hide in Plain Sight

November 15, 2009 by Michael Gallagher

Hide in Plain Sight by Marta Perry has received an average of 3.5 out of 5 stars based upon 50 customer reviews.  It has been in the Amazon Top 100 list for almost a year now, so someone likes it a lot.  You can pick up your free copy of this book by clicking here.

Here is the book’s description from the Amazon website:

“Please God, if you’re listening, keep Rachel safe.” She couldn’t turn her back on her family in their time of need. So when her sister was injured, financial expert Andrea Hampton traded the big city for Amish country to help turn her grandmother’s house into an inn. But life with the Plain People took a treacherous turn when a string of accidents and pranks threatened her family. Someone didn’t want the secrets the old house harbored to come to light. Trusting anyone-even the handsome carpenter who seemed so genuine-was a battle for Andrea, but her life depended on her ability to find the truth.

The Angel Experiment

November 14, 2009 by Michael Gallagher

The Angel Experiment (Maximum Ride, Book 1) by James Patterson has received an average of 4 out of 5 stars based upon 301 customer reviews, and is currently #21 in the Kindle store.  You can pick up your free copy of this book by clicking here.

Here is the book’s description from the Amazon website:

Themes from Patterson’s popular adult titles When the Wind Blows and The Lake House waft through this YA thriller, the author’s first in the genre. Wood stars as Maximum Ride, 14-year-old leader of a band of kids who have escaped the lab where they were bred as 98% human and 2% bird (wings being a key component) and developed a variety of other-worldly talents. In Patterson’s unusual universe, Max and her young cohorts are soon forced to rescue one of their own—a girl named Angel—from a pack of mutant wolf-humans called Erasers. Wood nails Patterson’s often adult-beyond-their-years dialogue with a jaded tone. But the result of this pairing makes Max sound more off-putting than cool or intriguing. The listening experience is stalled in the starting gate, keeping the action-adventure earthbound rather than high-flying. Ages 12-up.

Trading in Danger

November 13, 2009 by Michael Gallagher

OK, this is the fifth (and last) free book post I will have today…

Trading in Danger by Elizabeth Moon is the #23 book on the Amazon Kindle bestseller list as I type this and has received an average of 3.5 out of 5 stars based on 51 customer reviews.  You can pick up your free copy by clicking here.

Here is the book description from the Amazon website:

Adult/High School-Ky Vatta has been groomed for a career in her family’s interstellar shipping empire, but yearns for the life of a military officer. Sadly, in her senior year at the Space Academy, she is accused of an indiscretion and forced to resign. When she returns home in disgrace, her father hands her what she feels to be a demeaning assignment, though it does make her a captain: to take an obsolete ship to the scrap yard. But before long, the family talent for commerce emerges, and Ky negotiates an independent contract to supply a struggling colony with agricultural equipment from a nearby planet, hoping to realize sufficient profit to buy and refit her ship. The young woman finds herself in the midst of an interplanetary crisis and must prove her mettle. In this human future, commerce is the common ground where a believable variety of peoples, societies, and religions interact, and integrity and intelligence are essential factors in leadership. Entertainingly, Moon creates suspense and reveals character as much through contractual negotiations as through military action. Some readers might not approve of the author’s use of shorthand sci-fi conventions to sidestep scientific issues, but for most others, the human interest, well-wrought story, humor, and rich world-building will more than satisfy. The publisher bills this first in a series as military science fiction. It could equally be described as space opera … la Robert Heinlein, or a family yarn that can please fans of Anne McCaffrey’s “Rowan” saga (Ace).

Sin Boldly

November 13, 2009 by Michael Gallagher

The Zondervan book publishing empire is really cranking out the offerings.  Here’s another one – Sin Boldly by Cathleen Falsani is ranked #9 in the Kindle store and has received a perfect 5 out of 5 stars in Amazon’s ranking system by 24 customers.  If that many people think it’s perfect, maybe you should check it out (hey, it is free right now vs. the $15.999 digital list price).  You can pick up you copy by clicking here.

Here is the book description from the Amazon website:

Ranging from Chicago to Kenya, New Orleans to Ireland, Big Sky to Graceland, Falsani dons her investigative cap and scouts for grace. This religion columnist for the Chicago Sun-Times is a charming guide to places and people who reveal “grace when and where it happens.” Eschewing technical theological definitions, Falsani opts instead to tell how she has experienced grace. And we are vicarious travelers, seeing grace—”audacious, unwarranted, and unlimited”—through Falsani’s eyes. She marvels at the devotion of young people who crowd to the pope’s funeral and at the astoundingly independent women of Asembo Bay in Kenya. She wrestles with anger at a misogynist Tanzanian tour guide and anger at God when her mother and beloved cat face cancer. We traipse along with the author and eavesdrop on her conversations, both external and internal. The result is a pastiche of images meant collectively to reveal God’s grace. Though some may find the premise contrived, only a fierce cynic could fail to be drawn in to Falsani’s tales and candid reflections.

Starfist: First to Fight

November 13, 2009 by Michael Gallagher

Starfist: First to Fight by David Sherman and Dan Cragg is #66 on the Amazon Kindle bestseller list and has been offered for free for a little over a month now so you better grab it before it is gone.  It has received an average of 4 out of 5 stars based on 37 customer reviews.

This book is following Amazon’s strategy of re-releasing book #1 of a series for free in the idea they will hook you into buying the rest of the series.  In my case it worked – I finished the first one, liked it, and bought and read the second one; I plan on buying others in the series.  You can pickup your free copy by clicking here.

Here is the book description from the Amazon website:

“Marines, we have just become a low-tech deep recon patrol . . .”

Stranded in a hellish alien desert, stripped of their strategic systems, quick reaction force, and supporting arms, and carrying only a day’s water ration, Marine Staff Sergeant Charlie Bass and his seven-man team faced a grim future seventy-five light-years from home. The only thing between his Marines and safety was eighty-five miles of uncharted, waterless terrain and two thousand bloodthirsty savages with state-of-the-art weapons in their hands and murder on their minds.

But the enemy didn’t reckon on the warrior cunning of Marines’ Marine Charlie Bass and the courage of the few good men who would follow him anywhere–even to death. . .

“HARD TO PUT DOWN . . . Any book written by Cragg and Sherman is bound to be addictive, and this is the first in what promises to be a great adventure series. FIRST TO FIGHT is rousing, rugged, and just plain fun.”
–Ralph Peters, New York Times bestselling author of Red Army

When Night Falls

November 13, 2009 by Michael Gallagher

When Night Falls by Margaret Daley somehow is the #38 book on the Amazon Kindle bestseller list – I saw “somehow” as it has only received a 2.5 out of 5 star rating based on 18 customer reviews.  It looks like people either love it or hate it as 5 of those reviews were 5-star reviews while 7 of them were 1-star reviews.  Go decide for yourself, as it is being offered for free – you can get your free copy by clicking here.

Here is the brief description from the Amazon website:

A violent encounter in a deserted parking lot is FBI agent Sam Pierce-s only clue to the menace who is stalking child psychologist Jocelyn Gold. A random event? Or a client’s revenge? When darkness falls, the danger deepens….

The Pawn by Steven James

November 11, 2009 by Michael Gallagher

The Pawn by Steven James is currently #2 on the Kindle bestseller list and has received an average of 4.5 out of 5 stars based on 44 customer reviews.  You can pick up a copy by clicking here.

Here is the book description from the Amazon website:

In this riveting thriller, the first of a planned trilogy, James (Story) introduces FBI agent Patrick Bowers. His professional specialty is environmental criminology, which attempts to track lawbreakers by analyzing the significance of the time and place at which the crime occurred. When corpses of young women start turning up near Asheville, N.C., Bowers is called in. The killer’s MO is to tie a yellow ribbon in his victims’ hair and leave a chess piece somewhere on the scene. Bowers begins to suspect that the governor of North Carolina, rumored to be the next Republican presidential contender, is somehow connected to the murders, and that a cult with links to Jonestown might also be involved. Making matters trickier, the special agent supervising Bowers turns out to be a longtime colleague with whom Bowers has some bad blood. Bowers, a recent widower with a surly teenage stepdaughter to raise, tries to keep his grief and parental confusion at bay so that he can focus on the case as the killer targets more innocent women. Christian faith makes a subtle appearance in the story and appears to be a theme that will be developed in future installments. A gripping plot and brisk pacing will win James some fans eager for his next offering.
