All,

If anyone is looking for an entertaining sci-fi novel to read, then you're welcome to check out my own book - The Honour of the Knights.

I self published it last year, but you can download and read the ebook for free from the book's dedicated website:

It's currently being serialized here, so will be a few more weeks before the whole thing is available. However, there are some full EPub and Kindle editions here:

Enjoy. This is the first book in a trilogy, with the second novel likely coming out next year (not late 2010 like it says on the site).

Thanks. I'll read the first few chapters as I find the time over the next few days. Would you like any feedback?

If so, here are a few first-impression things. If not, ignore them.

Praise - I think the cover art looks professional.
I like the website's layout and look-and-feel. It is one of the best book/author websites I've been to.

Suggestion - I would include a table of contents. I'm guessing you are planning on including it when the e-book is finalized, but I would add one even for the unfinalized versions.

Cheers, mate!

The book is already finalized and is in print. Probably won't be adding a table of contents - I prefer the chapters to just be there (I know it sounds a little absurd, given that the chapters are currently listed - but that'll be shuffled around later on).

I made the cover myself, using GIMP and with help from ImageMagick. Glad you like the website - the results in Internet Explorer are poor though, sadly. I've actually had to put up a notice on the site to let people know it's not meant to look as bad as that(!)

Feel free to sign the guestbook (http://www.battleforthesolarsystem.com/guestbook/), if you like ;)
