Tor and Free Ebooks

According to a recent email, Tor is restarting their monthly ebook giveaway. 

 

- New giveaway e-books

More details next week–but yes, we plan to resume giving away selected e-books on Tor.com, at least one title per month. To download them you’ll need to not just visit Tor.com but register as a user; the downloads won’t be accessible until you do. Registering on the site takes maybe thirty seconds if you type particularly slowly…so Act Now, Act Without Thinking, get over to Tor.com and create yourself a user account today.-

 

I am excited to see the return of this program.   The previous incarnation certainly exposed me to writers I might not have otherwise ever picked up.  It looks like this time around you have to register and actually go to their site.  This is not a bad thing.  Tor.com is turning into a fairly significant portal for the SF community, think Blog, Social Networking and original fiction all wrapped up into one.  There have been some great stories by the likes of Charlie Stross and John Scalzi.   I haven’t had a lot of time to thoroughly explore the site, but from what I have seen if you are an SF fan you will want to check it out.  Truthfully I have been avoiding the site because it is so damn cool it can quickly turn into a giant time sink.  My user name over there is coreyjf – shocking I know.  Feel free to follow…
