Death Drop by Sean Allen

Greetings All!

Well, it’s been almost a year since Death Drop was published, and I have learned some things here and there. One of the things I would do differently would be to focus my review efforts specifically toward Amazon.com. Like it or not, the juggernaut has a major impact on the sale of books (particularly ebooks). And, to be quite blunt, the more books I sell, the more time I can dedicate to finishing the next book (it’s also not bad for the writer ego, and let’s face it, when you feel that people are digging what you’re producing, it motivates you to be more productive).

That said, I’m thinking of offering a free paperback copy of Death Drop to **anyone** who is willing to read the story and give an honest review on Amazon.com. This will be done on the good old fashioned honor system. Tell me you’ll write a review on amazon, and I’ll take you at your word and send a book. Please message me and let me know if you’re interested. I’m going to limit the books to the first 50 responses and adjust the number from there, depending on demand.

**You’ll have to agree to pay for shipping through my website (I think media mail rate is $2.82). I’m sorry, but only those in the continental US are eligible. I haven’t figured out international shipping through my website store. Also, I’m excluding close personal friends and family from this offer – folks tend not to like it when an author has friends and family post positive things about their books. I still love you guys and appreciate all of your support!

So you’ll be getting $19.95 worth of book for under $3.00. Email me at sean@devolutionnovels.com or respond to this post if you’re genuinely interested.

Now before I sign off, I’d like to advise you on a few items that might make this experience enjoyable for you and me. Here’s a short list of things that might tell you whether or not you’ll actually enjoy reading the book.



If you’re a diehard fan of hard science fiction, this is NOT the book for you. The book is 100% space opera. So while there are some science fiction elements (e.g. space travel, mostly). A vast majority of this book, I’d say 98%, is fantasy in a space setting.
If you tend not to like a lot of detail, this is NOT the book for you.
If you’re an editorial nazi (e.g. he should’ve used oblique text here instead of plain italics, and prose books shouldn’t have onomatopoeia-words like “bang” and KABOOM!”). Definitely NOT the book for you.
If you don’t think pop culture styles and genres should be melded together, DON’T bother.
If you can’t handle violence and language, that’s a big negative ghost rider, the pattern is full.
If you think comic books, video games, or movies are awful influences for writers, you won’t like my book and please stop reading my blog. In fact, you shouldn’t even be here on this page. Just go ahead and hit the back button and kindly never return. Thanks.

 

I sincerely hope some of your bibliophiles out there, who might like a different style of story, will consider taking me up on this offer.

Cheers!

Sean
