Free on Kindle as a Pre-Order - The Dark Tide
The Dark Tide, by Andrew Gross, is currently 99 cents in the Kindle store and at Fictionwise, but should be free soon (maybe not today, but usually within a day or two of this type of release) in the Kindle store.
Book Description On the morning Karen Friedman learns that her husband, a hedge fund manager, has been tragically killed, Detective Ty Hauck begins his investigation of another man's death in a suspicious hit-and-run in Karen's hometown. The two seemingly unrelated tragedies are about to plunge a beautiful widow and a determined investigator into a maelstrom of murder, vast sums of missing money, and international conspiracy.This special free edition includes an excerpt from Andrew Gross's newest novel, Reckless. For those with a nook or mobile (sorry, ereader format only), check Fictionwise. I doubt they will drop all the way to free, but with the current MARCH2010 coupon for 10% off and a club membership, it'll only cost you 65 cents each and you'll get 29 cents back in micropay.

It may be "free soon," (I really don't know); but, the release date is shown as "March 23," and is on preorder status for the .99 cents.

Read the cover - it says "free edition". This has occurred with all the other free pre-orders lately (there are three right now). They drop to free (sometimes to a penny first) just before they release or the day of release. I don't advocate buying now (although, really a dollar for this or the Feist book is a good deal), but watching it to buy when it drops. If I know it will be free in a week or two, I won't buy the more expensive edition that is already there or elsewhere, either.

And I'll change the title to reflect that they are now available for free as a Pre-Order.

Three this week with no religion (and one more to come - it's already free to pre-order at B&N, but not at Amazon yet)!

It was free for about two days. Then it went back up. Try the B&N store, where it is free now:
* Rides a Dread Legion, by Raymond E. Feist (pre-order) * The Dark Tide, by Andrew Gross (pre-order) |

Yea, I missed it too. Amazon still not letting me pre order the free one without a credit card. If it is free why do they need CC#? I have never needed one for the free books for Kindle PC before.
