Shameless Pimping
Some of you might remember my friend David, who played a few mafia games with us and hung out for a bit...years ago. He has decided to self publish his sci-fi series. The first book, The Blue Spangled Blue, is available on Amazon as an e-book now.

I probably read it a few drafts ago so I'm not sure how much it's changed, but it was fucking awesome when I read it many years ago. It manages to be language-rich and a page turner at the same time. I'm a little hesitant to summarize because I don't remember where one book left off and the next picked up, but if anyone is curious or has questions I could try to help :X.
You don't have to have a kindle to read the kindle version of the book - Amazon has Kindle for PC. You do have to read it on a screen though.
