I got old man's war from TPB, but... hey, I bought the others. Seriously I just saw your book on one of these lists of si-fi downloads, never heard about you anywhere. If not for the lawless internet I wouldnt have had the chance of reading your work. I’m ashamed… I got old man’s war from TPB, but… hey, I bought the others.

Does anyone know of a site to buy it from? I tried Tor, but could not find anything there. I’m trying to find this wonderful book for reading in my iPhone. Does anyone know of a site to buy it from?

You can still find the book in bookstores, however, and many public libraries have copies. Nope; the promotion is done.

Do the links still exist? Is it still possible to download these e-books from the Tor site? I can't find a link. I wish I had discovered you as an author a little earlier. It’s been almost a year.

I was highly tempted to download the third book of the series, but, since reading this post i definitly won't. On the other hand, you should be really proud of yourself: People read your books as an nasty pdf rip on their little screens :-) E-book reading can be really really annoying and unhealthy after all, but this olny proves that your writing is very good. Probably something your Daugter and the rest of your family wouldnt find that funny at this moment. Wish you all the best in upcoming year of 2009! Greetings from Vienna, Austria Dear John,

I do enjoy reading, but I find I don't take chances often (spending money) on authors I'm unfamiliar with. Have been meaning to sacrifice my daughters future to benefit yours by purchasing Old Man's War but just haven't gotten around to it. Thanks for doing this and allowing yourself to get your hooks into my soul... thereby furthering your daughter's future anyway. :) Thank you sir.

It's actually March 2 - 8, 2008. Have Tor contact me if they want to post word of a free download on the Read An E-Book site. Good advertising for them as it gets word out about their e-book line.

Maybe, if someone brought it to their attention, they'd like to release another free e-book for that week? Rita Toews Founder, Read An E-Book Week.
