We are well into week #5 of our wild and crazy plan to give away a brand new Kindle Fire every week through the rest of this year and well into next, and we are already 70% of the way toward surpassing last week’s record of 2,583 entries.
(Our WEEK #4 GRAND PRIZE winner, Judi Gordey of Upper Marlboro, Maryland, who has been a Kindle Nation citizen since May of this year, was randomly selected from all the entries to win a KINDLE FIRE tablet. The Fire is slated to ship on November 15, and Amazon has confirmed for us that Judi’s will arrive at her home by November 16!)
What about yours?
Maybe yours will be awarded in next Monday, but you know how this works, right? You can’t win it if you don’t enter. For the Week #5 Sweepstakes, novelist Matthew Frick, author of the bestselling Kindle thriller OPEN SOURCE — think “Everyman meets Jack Bauer,” and it’s just 99 cents! — is helping us all out as our sponsor.
(And just in case you are wondering, Matthew has already paid the full cost of that new Kindle Fire that could very well have your name on it. Every penny. What’s that? If you have a good understanding of how karma works in these matters and you want to make sure you have downloaded a copy of OPEN SOURCE before the Week #5 drawing, thanks, and let’s be clear that while the cosmos works by its own rules, we of course have no way of knowing what you download from the Kindle Store.)
The Week #5 Sweepstakes runs until shortly after noon on Sunday November 13, and entry details can be found at the end of this post.
But first … a word from this week’s sponsor.
Those who have yet to discover Matthew Frick’s tale of international intrigue Open Source are in for a special treat at the equally terrific price of just 99 cents!
by Matthew Frick
“International intrigue at its best….Frick’s characters are authentic and likeable….[His] extensive knowledge of the Middle East and maritime piracy is evident in this thrilling book.”
–San Francisco Book Review

Here’s the set-up:
What if a ship carrying a cargo of stolen Russian missiles bound for Iran was mysteriously hijacked? What if Israel was secretly behind the hijacking? What if the guy who fills the vending machines in the office break room figured the whole thing out?
Based on actual events, OPEN SOURCE is a geopolitical thriller that follows Casey Shenk, a Savannah, Georgia, vending route driver with an insatiable curiosity, as he uncovers a black-market arms deal-gone-bad and the truth behind a high-level plot to shape world politics.
Casey draws his evidence from open sources; by reading beyond the headlines. When his theorizing catches the attention of the wrong people and anonymous threats turn deadly, Casey looks to Susan Williams, an intelligent, but insecure, analyst for the New York-based consulting firm Intelligence Watch Group for help. The two soon find themselves in the crosshairs and fighting to save their own lives, while preventing an even greater injustice that could affect the balance of power in the Middle East and plunge the world headlong into the next Great War.
One Reviewer Notes:
Casey Shenk is an ordinary man, living an ordinary life, with a sub-ordinary job, two ordinary friends and one unusual passion: blogging about world politics. He speaks only English, has a rather pedestrian education and loves spending time in lower class bars: but he is curious about the world he lives in, he doesn’t tire easily, and enjoys solving puzzles. The problem is that he also likes publishing his opinions and findings on the internet.
This is dangerous.
Intrigued by a bizarre news item, he uses his Google-fu to scour the public internet for clues and explanations; based on what he finds in open sources he assembles a plausible hypothesis, and posts it on his blog. The hypothesis is more right than wrong, and powerful people take notice; some see him as a problem to be solved once and for all, while others see him as a potential resource to be used….

Of course not!
Here are the details on the Kindle Nation Week #4 KINDLE FIRE Giveaway Sweepstakes:

Then just scroll down and follow the prompts to enter the sweepstakes, and you’re done! (Of course, if you want to really improve your chances of winning by multiplying your good fortune by your good karma, we hope you’ll take a page from recent grand prize winner Steve Wisener’s book and pick up each of our sponsors’ titles. But like we say, there’s no purchase necessary.)

It’s that simple.
Good luck. And happy reading!
by Matthew M. Frick is the best thriller that I have read in the past year.
