Found this amazing site online... its called the Baen Free Library --> http://www.baen.com/library/ ... Its the brainchild of author Eric Flint... The site has a bunch of science fiction and fantasy books to download for free... and its legal to boot... The authors put up and remove the stories at will, so hopefully there will be changing content... Right now I an reading Andre Norton's Star Soldiers and have downloaded several more...

Some of the authors and stories available are:
  • Eric Flint - 31 titles
  • Andre Norton - Star Soldiers, Time Traders
  • David Drake - 17 titles
  • Larry Niven - Fallen Angels (w/J Pournelle, M.Flynn)
  • Jerry Pournelle - West of Honor, Fallen Angels (w/L.Niven, M.Flynn)
  • Fred Sabrehagen - Berserker Throne
  • Harry Turtledove - Sentry Peak, Wisdom of the Fox
  • Karen Koehler - Slayer
  • Rosemary Edgehill - The Warslayer, Beyond World's End (w/M.Lackey)
  • Aaron Allston - Doc Sidhe
  • Elizabeth Moon - Sheepfarmer's Daughter
  • David Weber - 14 titles
  • Holly Lisle - Fire in the Mist, Sympathy for the Devil
  • Lois McMaster Bujold - The mountains of Mourning
  • 24 additional authors
The downloads are available in multiple formats... formats include:
Zipped Files
HTML Format Zip

Microsoft Reader Format Zip
Sony Digital Reader Format Zip
RTF Format Zip

Unzipped Files

I have downloaded the books in a zipped file in the HTML format... it was quick and easy to do...

Wake me up when Harlan Ellison puts his shit up there for free.
Then I will know it is the End of Days.
