Free Kindle Books 12-29-13

General notes to free Kindle book posts

From the top 100 free list
As is typical, there are also several religious and recipe books on the list today, along with the usual assortment of romance, porn and near porn. I don't call them out because they don't interest me. Click on the link above and search through the Free List Tab if you are interested in such books.

Abacus
“Mozart’s powerful Requiem eerily resonated through the cold building, giving it a true cathedral feel. Through it’s wide opened mouth, the red-hot burgeoning belly of the furnace could be seen. Hogtied and partially blindfolded, there was no escape for the career felon. If only he had chosen another path in life. But now it was all too late.”

A witness to his parent’s gruesome murder, Detective Sergeant Randall became a hardened, vengeful man with no fear of consequence. A gifted Detective who craved revenge, he was the perfect recruit. Under direction of the Abacus, he led a complex double life, systematically culling the very bad in society, while at the same time in charge of a busy Detective Division.
With a rising body count at the hands of a depraved psychopath, it appeared that Randall’s worlds had collided… or had they?

You will admire Randall, support Randall and question Randall in his quest to right the world’s wrongs and find true inner peace.

Written by former Detective Josh Burton who draws on his years of experience, Abacus’s is as convincing as it is thoroughly entertaining.

Free From Stackpole.
Stackpole puts a book or two up for free periodically, lately every couple of days.  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. Occasionally I have seen some craft type books.

Recommendations for purchasing the ultimate all-around shotgun

Hunter's Guide to Shotguns for Upland Game is a valuable reference that educates hunters about how to find the perfect shotgun to match their needs. The book takes a pragmatic approach for the average hunter looking to get the most bang for his buck and shows that hunters don't have to break the bank to buy a versatile shotgun. It discusses the best guns for various species of upland game and examines the all-important criteria for choosing a shotgun: the hunter's physique, preferred action type and gauge, gun features, price range, whether or not he's hunting with dogs, and other possible uses for the gun such as deer hunting or clay target games. Profiles of major manufacturers and models showcase a wide variety of shotguns to give readers a good idea of the relative strengths and weaknesses of available products. Once a hunter has selected a shotgun, he will discover how to use custom loads and make modifications to personalize his gun and improve its performance.
