Most times these books are only free for a day or two, so you have to grab them while you can. Worry about whether you really want to read it later if it seems interesting. And be careful, they can change from free to not free at any time.
I have decided to list books for no more than one day to avoid cluttering up the posts, unless there is some reason I think the book deserves extra attention.I have also decided to consolidate to a single post, instead of sometimes splitting them up by subject matter.

The Cana Mystery
In this gripping mystery adventure, Ava, an MIT graduate student and expert in ancient languages, is awakened in the middle of the night by a phone call from an old friend, Paul, with a baffling request: Could she fly to Yemen immediately? He’s found something important and needs her help.
Paul’s subsequent coded e-mail alludes to what he and his boss, Simon Demaj, have found: the lost jars of Cana—the very jars that Jesus used at the wedding at Cana—and a puzzle to be solved. Are the jars authentic, and is there a prophecy somehow hidden in them?
At the same time a shocking global announcement is made: “. . . Pope Benedict XVI announced that he will resign for the good of the church . . .”
Is there a connection? Ava and Paul set off on a deadly global adventure to Yemen, Egypt, Malta, and Rome searching for answers. Every step of the way they’re chased by Paul’s unscrupulous billionaire boss, a drug lord, and corrupt officials.
A thrilling mix of historical and contemporary intrigue, The Cana Mystery keeps the reader wanting to know more.

Indisputable Proof
Named as one of the “Best Fiction Books of 2012” by Rosa St. Claire of the Miami Examiner.
“Dan Brown better look over his shoulder – Williams and Knerly are here for his crown. Indisputable Proof is an edge-of-the-seat thriller with great storytelling backed by brilliant research.”
– Greig Beck, bestselling author of "This Green Hell" and "Dark Rising"
With his father in a coma, CIA operative Samuel Tolen may have found a way to answer mankind’s greatest question: Is there life after death?
When the Sudarium of Oviedo—the venerable cloth that once covered Jesus Christ’s face on the cross—is stolen from a cathedral in Spain, it sparks a series of grisly murders. Each victim is killed in a manner resembling the form of execution of one of the Apostles. American CIA operative Samuel Tolen, Spanish inspector Pascal Diaz, and British archaeologist Dr. Jade Mollur embark on a journey to reclaim the Sudarium. Their search takes a surprising turn when a 2,000-year-old clue from Joseph of Arimathea suggests a far greater secret is within reach; a startling discovery that would forever change humanity.
Embroiled in a deadly hunt that takes them from the grounds of Harvard University to the coast of Costa Rica, from a hallowed Greek Isle to an exquisite Spanish cathedral, and ultimately to the doorstep of mankind’s greatest civilization, Tolen, Diaz, and Mollur will search for the ultimate truth in the midst of unspeakable deception. But is it a truth mankind was meant to discover?

Paleo Crockpot Cookbook: Illustrated Paleo Crock Pot Recipes with Delicious Slow Cooker Soups, Stews, Dinners, Sides and Desserts (Paleo Recipes: Paleo ... Lunch, Dinner & Desserts Recipe Book)
This illustrated Paleo crockpot cookbook guides you through making easy Paleo crock pot recipes for you and your family. These are many of my favorites. I have only used natural ingredients and foods that are easy to source at your local supermarket or store. The mouth watering pictures will help you decide what you want to make for dinner tonight…I love having pictures in a cookbook! Discover a variety of delicious slow cooker beef recipes, slow cooker chicken recipes, pork and lamb, all accompanied by pictures of the finished recipe. Soups and stews are always a favorite, but there are some desserts and Paleo side dishes thrown in too.
If you're a fan of one pot cooking, then this book will give you a variety of meals that you can cook easily for brunch, sides, lunch, dinner and desserts. Commonly some traditional ingredients will be substituted for more Paleo friendly things. A few examples are Paleo vegetables, coconut milk, coconut and almond flour, olive and coconut oil and of course apple cider. You'll discover new delicious slow cooker meals that will stimulate your appetite while still making it easy to stay on your Paleo diet.
You will also be guided through tips and the basics of getting started with crock pot cooking, even if you have never done it before. Slow cookers have stayed in style because of their convenience and ability to produce healthy nutritious meals quickly and easily with minimal cleanup. Most of us are very short on time and don't have hours to spend in the kitchen every day, especially when we get home from work or having a busy day. All you need to do is prepare the food, set it and then forget it until you return home for dinner. And remember if you're looking for something fast, then the HIGH level setting allows you to cook foods more quickly.

Free From Stackpole.
Stackpole puts a book or two up for free periodically. I have read several of their free books. Some interesting stuff. Most of what I have seen is WWII German military history, with varying quality of translation, some other military history from lesser known units, along with some fishing and other outdoors oriented books.
