Imagine the action and ideas of The Da Vinci Code and The Lost Symbol in good, clean prose, and you’ve got our Kindle Nation eBook of the Day, Terrence O’Brien’s The Templar Concordat – And here’s a free sample!

Loved The Da Vinci Code and The Lost Symbol, but you wish Dan Brown could lose his fixation with all the arty esoterica? Terrence O’Brien’s The Templar Concordat could be the book that hits your sweet spot….

Here’s the set-up:

When the truth is your greatest danger, and the enemy knows the truth, things can only go downhill when the enemy finally gets the proof. And that’s the proof the Hashashin get when they steal what the Vatican doesn’t even know it has.

Now the infallible decrees of two Twelfth Century popes and three kings, stolen by the Hashashin, threaten to catapult the bigotry, bias, and religious blood baths of the Third Crusade straight into the Twenty-First Century.

When Templars Sean Callahan and Marie Curtis are drawn into the mess, they face an ancient enemy that has already nearly won the battle, a newly elected Mexican pope being undermined by entrenched Vatican powers, world class scholars who will sell their prestige to the highest bidder, and terrorists lingering over lattes in sidewalk cafes.

Moving from Rome to London, Switzerland, and Saudi Arabia, Callahan and Curtis are desperate to find some way to stem the success the Hashashin are having enlisting the majority of moderate Muslims in their Jihad.

Outmanuevered at each step by the Hashashin, only a last ditch roll of the dice has any chance of success. But it’s the only chance they have.

Simple to read; simple to understand; simple to apply. That’s part of what makes for the genius of our eBook of the Day, Tom Evans’ Flavours Of Thought: Recipes for Fresh Thinking. Start reading with this free sample!

May 15, 2011February 21, 2011 by KND

Many of us spend so much time “doing” that we scarcely ever stop to think about the patterns — and consequences — of our thinking. Now Tom Evans has written a disarmingly straightforward book that could help you change your world forever.

Here’s the set-up for Tom Evans’ Flavours Of Thought: Recipes for Fresh Thinking:

This is a book about thinking. We never give our thoughts a second thought. This is a shame as how and what we think fundamentally changes what sort of day we have and what sort of world we inhabit.

It describes just 21 of many possible types of thought we can have and cleverly combines them into 21 simple to follow recipes.

This is just a soupcon of what is available to us but it’s a great starter.

This book is purposely short so it can be read and absorbed easily on ereaders and smartphones.

It doesn’t take long to read and it quite possibly might change your world and those around you forever.

A note for readers from author Tom Evans:

Flavours of Thought is a book of transformation. We go about our days not giving our thoughts a second thought. This is a real shame as our thoughts fundamentally changes the world around us.

In Part 1 Flavours of Thought, our thought processes are divided into groups of three, namely Ethereal Whispers, Unconscious Murmurs and Directives. Each group is then further divided into seven flavours.

By thinking about our each of our thoughts as having one of these 21 flavours, a transformation happens. We start to realise we are not a slave to them anymore and they will yield to our will and direction.

Part II of the book, Recipes for Fresh Thinking, then shows how these 21 flavours can be combined into 21 sample recipes (there are billions of other permutations) to tackle common issues like self-anger all the way through to finding your soul path.

The simplicity of this book belies its power as it is crafted from ancient wisdom but in a modern context.

What people are saying about it:

“This book is intrinsically simple. Simple to read; simple to understand; simple to apply. Its simplicity is what makes it genius.”

“It is the deceptive power in its apparent simplicity which allows Flavours of Thought to be easily accessible to both beginners and time served devotees of personal development work. The book is cleverly engineered and crafted to produce light bulb moments (or understanding) whether it’s being read cover to cover, dipped into randomly or as an aide memoir when required. I do all three, often!”

From the reviews:

A few things resonated for me. The flavor of `reception’ which means being still and listening. In a world full of noise from social media and constant online consumption, we need a reminder to turn off and just be quiet to listen to the world

Flavours of Thought is so easy to read I hardly knew I was reading. I ‘woke up’ from it feeling refreshed, calm and ready to embrace my fulfillment.

This is such an easy thought provoking book to read. You can read the whole thing or just dip in when you want to. This is a perfect gift for anyone – they will thank you for it.

The action never stops in our Kindle Nation eBook of the Day, Alan Cook’s white-knuckle suspense novel Forget To Remember – and here’s a free sample

May 15, 2011February 15, 2011 by KND

No memory, no name, no clothes, no friends. Unwanted by everyone but the person who left her for dead. Alan Cook’s Forget To Remember will have you holding your breath at the end of every chapter – Just $2.99 on Kindle!

Here’s the set-up:

Carol Golden isn’t her real name. She doesn’t remember her real name or anything that happened before she was found in a Dumpster, naked and unconscious, on the beautiful Palos Verdes Peninsula in Southern California.

After helping her get some initial medical treatment, government at all levels officially declares her a non-person and doesn’t want anything more to do with her. She can’t work because she doesn’t have a Social Security number, which she can’t get because she doesn’t have a birth certificate. She can’t get a driver’s license, and, having no I.D. she can’t fly.

Fortunately, she receives help from Rigo Ramirez, the young man who found her, and his family. Frances Moran, a genetic genealogist who is an expert at identifying and finding people using DNA and the Internet, offers her services, but nobody appears to be looking for Carol. Nobody, that is, except whoever left her for dead. Is this person going to return to finish the job?

Carol must overcome the obstacles placed in her path by an unfeeling bureaucracy while she searches for clues to her identity. If the law doesn’t protect her, why should she stay within the law? In addition, as her situation gets publicized, the risk of her attacker finding out that she’s still alive increases.

Carol discovers that she’s an “action kind of girl” who doesn’t take kindly to being told what she can’t do, which is just about everything. She realizes that if she’s going to find out who she is, she has to travel to the East Coast and England and do whatever else needs to be done, regardless of the risks.

The book takes you on an adventure in internet sleuthing, DNA sleuthing, and good old hold-your-breath cliff-hanging moments as our victim tries to reclaim her life. –Alice Fairhurst, Southern California Genealogical Society

Deception, denial, and determination all play a part in Carol’s roller-coaster ride in this suspense novel. Filled with intrigue and non-stop action, “Forget to Remember” is hard to put down. –Richard R. Blake

Stranger in a Strange Land Meets The Girl Who Escaped from Earth? Libby Carter Seeks Redemption in Space in Brand Gamblin’s 5-Star Novel Tumbler, Our Kindle Nation eBook o’ the Day

May 16, 2011February 5, 2011 by KND

Stieg Larsson meets Robert A. Heinlein? Libby Carter is a unique but appealing stranger on a strange little rock in Brand Gamblin’s award-winning novel for all ages, Tumbler.

Here’s the set-up:

Libby Carter wanted to get away from it all, so she took a job mining asteroids as far out into the inky blackness as possible. However, her escape turned into a trap, leaving her stuck in indentured servitude, living on a tiny rock in space.

As she tries to dig herself out, she gains friends and finds adventure. Cave-in rescues, planetary collisions, and other mishaps keep her new family fighting to stay alive.

About the Author:

Brand Gamblin worked for over a decade as a game programmer. In his spare time, he wrote and produced short stories and videos. In 2008, he entered the National Novel Writing Month, and won with his story “Tumbler.” In 2009, he entered and won again with his book “1884.”

Gamblin was born in San Antonio in 1973. He spent most of his youth in Texas, earning a bachelors degree in Computer Science from Texas Tech University.

Following college, he achieved his boyhood dream of working as a video game programmer. For the next decade, he published games for such companies as Microprose, Acclaim, and Firaxis.

In his spare time, Brand created the YouTube video cult classic, “Calls For Cthulhu“, which has thousands of followers worldwide, and has been nominated for several film awards. The video has over 300,000 views to date.

Tumbler, Brand’s first book, was released as a podiobook in 2009, and then was self-published in 2010.

Review:

Reviewer Allison Duncan seems to sum it up for most of the 5-star reviews for Tumbler:

Tumbler is a scifi novel that is very Heinlein-esque. Small time main character works through struggles and makes good encapsulates the plot. But the story itself, while excellent, is not as exciting as watching the characters.

Libby, the heroine, is a young girl who has no idea how the world works. She loses her mother and then jumps headlong into a deep space mining conglomerate hoping to somehow make good through hard work alone. Unfortunately, what she doesn’t know just might kill her. If the locals don’t do it first.

Most scifi books are heavy reading and usually just not my cup of tea. However, Tumbler is fast paced while maintaining believability and a delicious sense of the ironic. With such a wonderful combo, the reader cannot help but be swept along. I would note that this novel is considered “Young Adult,” but anyone can jump in and enjoy it.
