Folks, I apologize for the spotty service this past week. My Internet service provider had several problems, and then to top it all off, the wrong link went out with Friday’s e-mail. So, in case you missed it, I’m reposting most of the books that appeared here yesterday. I’ve double-checked the prices to ensure they were still free as of noon Saturday. Also, I’ve\u00a0uncovered a half-dozen new Kindle freebies that went free late Friday night, and I’ve posted them midway through this page.<\/em><\/p>\n

And now, here is Friday’s issue:<\/em><\/p>\n

Have you entered the great Puzzle Contest yet? See a few paragraphs below for more details…<\/p>\n

Barry Eisler is the author of two bestselling thriller series — “Rain,” featuring anti-hero John Rain, a half-Japanese, half-American former soldier turned freelance assassin, and “Treven,” a series about black ops soldier Ben Treven.<\/p>\n

\"barry\"<\/a>His two series were traditionally published, and Barry was never satisfied with the book titles and cover artwork. So, few years ago, he terminated his contracts so that he could republish them independently (and in the process declined a reported half-million dollar advance from St. Martins Press). His debut novel, originally published as Rain Fall<\/em> in 2002, is now known as A Clean Kill in Tokyo<\/em>, and it tops today’s Buffet.<\/p>\n

“Now that I have my rights back and no longer have to make ridiculous compromises about these matters, I’ve given the books the titles I always wanted them to have–titles that actually have something to do with the stories, that capture some essential aspect of the stories, and that act as both vessel and amplifier for what’s most meaningful in the stories,” Barry says.<\/p>\n

Now, about that Puzzle Contest, which was announced here on Monday<\/a>. There is no winner yet, and the contest is being extended two additional days. Here’s the latest word from the publisher:<\/p>\n
