FREE (and bargain) books for the Kindle - May 2011
It's a new month and there are new freebies. Several bargains from last month remain, so be sure to check the previous thread, HERE.
This is the sticky thread for free and bargain books in the Kindle store for May 2011. Rather than try to update the first post with a list of all the books, which is continually changing, instead new books will be posted at the end of the thread and each month there will be a new thread, letting the old one drop off the top of the forum. Anyone can post to the thread, but there are a few rules:

Plan B: A Nick Heller Story, by Joseph Finder, is free to pre-order in the Kindle store. Looks like a teaser story to get you interested in Buried Secrets, which releases June 21. He has another book, The Zero Hour, coming out this month, but it is a different series/character line.
Book Description An original short story by Joseph Finder, New York Times bestselling author of Buried Secrets and Vanished. "Plan B" finds private spy Nick Heller in Barcelona, Spain on a rescue mission. The target: a walled compound with state-of-the art-security. The object: a teenage girl, held against her will. The plan: get in and rescue the girl and then get out -- without tripping an alarm or alerting the army of guards. But even the best designed plans can go wrong. Which is why Nick Heller always has a Plan B. |

New Kindle Game:
Blocked - Rescue the Block! ($0.99) is the first entry in the Kindle Active Content arena for Nice Games. It looks interesting and the price is right (and the only low review is another whine from outside the US, where no Active Content can be sold). Game Description Blocked is a sliding block puzzle game. The object of Blocked is to slide a single marked block off of the board. However, your way is blocked by a series of other blocks. You must slide the other blocks in the right order to clear a path for the marked block to exit. You can choose from four different difficulty levels: Easy, Medium, Hard and Very Hard. Each difficulty level increases the number of blocks you must manipulate before solving the puzzle. Each of the four difficulty levels has 36 puzzles, for a total of 144 total puzzles to choose from. While easy levels have fewer blocks and can be quick, more difficult levels with many blocks can be quite challenging. Each puzzle tells you the minimum number of moves required to solve the puzzle. Challenge yourself to finish all of the puzzles with the fewest moves! Puzzle lovers of all ages will enjoy Blocked! |

The Stolen Child, by Brian McGilloway, is free for UK customers in the Kindle store (UK link). So far, you can't buy it at all in the US store, but it should be free if it manages to make it here. It looks like you get a full short story, plus a long excerpt from Little Girl Lost, which can be pre-ordered ($9.99)
Book Description An exclusive free edition of Brian McGilloway's acclaimed short crime-story, featuring Garda Inspector Benedict Devlin. Includes the opening chapters of McGilloway's dazzling new novel, Little Girl Lost ('Truly chilling' Ann Cleeves). |
