Title: The Book of Adam: Autobiography of the First Human Clone by Robert M. Hopper

Humanity's search for identity and immortality takes a new twist with the birth of Adam-2, the first human clone. His memoir draws us into a thrilling family drama that explores the social, religious, scientific, and highly personal ramifications of a world in the near future where it becomes commonplace to have oneself cloned after death. In the end, it's a story of one man's fear of death.

First sentence of book - Nine months after I died, my daughter gave birth to me.

also at B&N

Sounds interesting--thanks for the link!

I'm about 1/4 of the way through the book. I think it's really good. If it can sustain the quality, the characterization, the atmosphere and the suspense the rest of the way, it'll be a 5-star book for me.

It's also free for Kobo

for a free book, it's amazing just how well written it is.

I have an abandoned Nano novel that is on the subject of cloning

I might finish it one day. I will avoid this one for fear of being tainted

When I checked this morning, it was no longer free at Amazon ($2.99, still very reasonably priced) but still free at Kobobooks. I grabbed a copy for later reading.

I see how this "free ebook thing" results in a huge stack of TBR electrons.

Its still free on Smashwords, which has a Kindle-friendly version.

And yeah, I'd hate for anyone to see my TBR list from all the free stuff I've grabbed here and there while it was still free.

Just got it! Thanks

The author is on Goodreads. I got a very nice reply from him when I PM'd him a thanks and congratulations note.

I want to thank you all for the interest in my book and the kind words! Completing my first novel fulfilled a life-long goal. Naturally, I was cringing as I finally put it out into the world. To have it positively received is unbelievably heartening. And your help in generating so many downloads is a great boon to any new writer.

I'll be keeping it free on Smashwords until September 25, at which point the e-book will be $2.99 (and that will probably get slowly filtered down through iBooks, Kobo, B&N, etc., as Smashwords is the distributor for all but the Kindle). But for the foreseeable future, I'm going to keep the free multimedia version on my website at http://www.robhopper.com.

In the meantime, I'd be extremely grateful for any feedback or questions, helping me know what's working and what isn't working, which no doubt will help me as a writer and help guide me as I further develop the outline for the second book in the trilogy. My e-mail is rob@robhopper.com, and my Facebook is http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=660055319.

Thank you for all your time and for all you do in spreading the word about other ebooks!

Sincerely,
Rob
