Free e-books from Tor are back

Tuesday, September 23rd, 2008

To mark the return of the freebie, Tor is giving away e-copies of two recent nominees for World Fantasy Award for Best Novel; the publisher sounds pretty excited:

“Will Shetterly and Emma Bull are the first married couple to each simultaneously have a novel among the finalists for the World Fantasy Award—Emma’s Territory and Will’s The Gospel of the Knife. In commemoration of this, we’re offering registered Tor.com users free e-book editions of a pair of classics from the Bull and Shetterly backlists—Emma’s War for the Oaks and Will’s Dogland. Check them out here!”

Tor’s great e-book giveaway about to end

Tuesday, July 22nd, 2008

Tor, the sci-fi imprint of Macmillan, is ending its weekly giveaway of e-books, but not before unleashing one final giveaway bonanza.
Says Publishersmarketplace.com:

“This has had some odd side-effects, such as convincing some people that the name of the site you are now looking at will be ‘Watch the Skies,’ or that its main purpose will be to give away free e-books, perhaps along with free cars, savings bonds, real estate, a pony, etc.” The site has now turned into a sci-fi community vertical, with regular news and blog posts and an extensive message board.

“But they are ending the program in a blaze of free-dom: through Sunday, site visitors can still download any or all of the 24 books (plus a batch of free wallpapers) in formats that include HTML, PDF and Mobi.”

Scoop ‘em up while you can, before they’re gone. The cover art is interesting too. To visit the site, CLICK HERE.
