'The Book of Deacon' by Joseph R Lallo. its a trilogy. and it grabbed me right away, the next 2 books airnt free but only $2.99 each. there are loads of free books at amazon for the kindle, mostly the 1st one of the series so they can get you to buy the rest. but that's ok, that way you can at least see if you would like the series or not. The Incarnations of Immortality series from Piers Anthony was good, and his Xanth series (38 books) was good too.(just looked that up and i missed a load of them, and more coming...hum) Edited March 19, 2013 by Hemps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My latest, recent purchase, in the 150th anniversary year of the network is "Underground: How The Tube Shaped London". I have been a huge fan of our capital's "metro" or "subway" train service since childhood, when a ticket cost just twopence (in pre-decimal currency).
