News Flash: Mad scientist masquerading as author to give his e-book away FREE for two days! From his downtown Chicago mountain volcano fortress carved in the likeness of Isaac Asimov, John "Dr. Psycho" Godier has cooked up a plot for world domination by writing a hard sci fi e-book so enthralling, so shocking, so entertaining and so free that it physically repels money. While the world is busy reading, Dr. Psycho will take advantage and launch his plot to seize control of the governments of Earth by the end of the promotional period, to which the world will awake Tuesday to a demand for $7, a box of Twinkies, and a lifetime supply of beard dye.

"Comply!" Dr. Psycho said, "Or my army of mediocre robotic vampire fiction authors will punish you with a further 50 million titles per year on Amazon. The tween angst will be so thick you'll be able to cut it with a butter knife. Yes, myes! Muwahahahahahaha."

Crafted in a laboratory containing bubbling beakers, strange electrical devices, a toaster oven, and a holographic pet rhinoceros, "The Salvagers" is a hard sci fi tale of a man who finds the sum of his life's dreams, only to have them taken away by a force he cannot understand. He's led to realize what's truly important in life.

And I've grown a blurb in a genetically modified man-eating lima bean pod:

In the year 2258 the mining ship Cape Hatteras attempted to return home carrying a cargo of gold. It disappeared without a trace.

Two centuries later, space salvager Captain Camden Hunter finds the ship far from where it was predicted to be.

But he finds someone else is there. And they didn't come for the gold.

And ANOTHER blurb! Muwahahahahahahahaha.

Set four centuries in the future, salvager Captain Camden D. Hunter and his crew find the richest shipwreck ever lost in space: the mining vessel Cape Hatteras and the fabulous wealth it contains.

Lost 200 years before under mysterious and unknown circumstances, the Cape Hatteras is the most famous shipwreck in history. If anyone finds out that Cam's found it, he'll have every claim jumper in the solar system wanting a cut.

But that's the least of his worries, though he doesn't know it. The Cape Hatteras was once a government ship and they want it back. Unbeknownst to Cam and his crew, within that ship lies a dark secret that could threaten Earth, the solar system, and even the whole of the universe itself.

Reviews:

"He's accomplished something or other with a masterful whatever blah blah blah. Meh, I didn't read it, I'm just making crap up because I promised John I'd review it." - Lornak the Terrible of the Orion Expanse, author of "How to conquer Earth in One Easy Step" and "A Gor'ton Spawn's Guide to Human Physical Weaknesses."

"The book tastes delicious." - Consensus of the Blarton II Digestive Collective.

"Despite being professionally edited and offered for free, he really ought to be paying people to haul it off." - John Michael Godier's evil alternate universe component.

"01 01101 1100101!!! 01!!!!!!01++++" - The holy artificial intelligence of the Mmbaar III monestary.

"My review will be delivered in 28-46 months. If you haven't heard from me by month 61, send it again and remind me and then wait. If you haven't heard from me after the sum of those months plus 14, assume that I read it years ago and I'm not interested in reviewing. Simultaneous submissions not accepted." - Brondar the tentacled, Literary Agent and official minion of the Galactic Empire.
