The Count of Monte Cristo - Latest Edition 2010

I saw this movie The Count of Monte Cristo a few years ago but the movie does not do this ebook any justice, I believe this book will become one of my favorite ebook of all times.

Editorial of ebook:

The Count of Monte Cristo - Latest Edition 2010
(French: Le Comte de Monte-Cristo) is an adventure novel by Alexandre Dumas, père. It is often considered to be, along with The Three Musketeers, Dumas' most popular work. The writing of the work was completed in 1844. Like many of his novels, it is expanded from the plot outlines suggested by his collaborating ghostwriter Auguste Maquet.

The story takes place in France, Italy, islands in the Mediterranean and the Levant during the historical events of 1815–1838 (from just before the Hundred Days through to the reign of Louis-Philippe of France). The historical setting is a fundamental element of the book. It is primarily concerned with themes of hope, justice, vengeance, mercy, forgiveness and death, and is told in the style of an adventure story.

ebook: Space Prison, The Surviors

A kindle ebook titled: Space Prison, The Survivors (The science fiction thriller classic!) - A ship heading from Earth to Athena, a planet 500 light years away, is suddenly attacked by the Gerns, an alien empire in its expansion phase. People aboard are divided by the invaders into Slaves and Rejects. The former to work under Gern's command on Athena, the latter to stay in the nearest Earth-like planet, called Ragnarok and to be later returned to their mother planet.

Ragnarok, however, turns out to be an inhospitable world, populated by deadly, aggressive creatures. The novels follows the stranded humans through several generations as they try to survive there. Comic book writer Warren Ellis counts the novel as one of his early favorites, writing, "I must have read that book twenty times. It just rips along (in many senses of the word “rips”), as shamelessly gleeful as a short genre book should be."

One of the truly unusual novels in science fiction--a vivid portrayal of the deadliest planet ever discovered!

EXCERPT from ebook: Space Prison, The Survivors (The science fiction thriller classic!)


The sound came swiftly nearer, rising in pitch and swelling in volume. Then it broke through the clouds, tall and black and beautifully deadly—the Gern battle cruiser, come to seek them out and destroy them.

Humbolt dropped inside the stockade, exulting. For two hundred years his people had been waiting for the chance to fight the mighty Gern Empire ...

... with bows and arrows against blasters and bombs!

Tom Godwin surely has this ebook full of intrigue and adventure, this classic is a must for sci-fi pulp literature fans!

Editorial of kindle ebook:

"You are a very convincing writer. I have to say that it is obvious that you have done a significant amount planning and preparation in crafting your work. I really enjoyed your narrative voice - it was familiar and fluid. Right from the start your plot was very engaging. You do a nice job of slowly making your way through the story. You are very descriptive. So many authors rush into their story's plots without really developing them. All of your characters are round and nicely developed. Your book read like a movie in my mind. You have crafted an excellent piece here.



Or if you prefer the book instead of the cheaply priced ebook, Altered Destiny: A Hustler's Choice
