‘Free Hugo-nominated books’—but there’s a catch

1

By David Rothman

Pros: “The books involved are Brasyl by Ian McDonald, Rollback by Robert Sawyer and The Last Colony by John Scalzi. U.S. residents will also get Halting State by Charles Stross. The ebooks do not contain any digital rights management software and come as RTF files” (links added).

Cons: Actually there’s a catch if you want to get all titles on the list—you need to plop down $50 or more for membership in the World Science Fiction Convention.

More details: “The fifth nominee for Best Novel, Michael Chabon’s The Yiddish Policemen’s Union, is not included in the giveaway, but an excerpt is available on the HarperCollins web site. Many of the short fiction nominees are also available free online. Check out links here.”
