Free Book Friday: Windward Passage by Jim Nisbet

JK Evanczuk / Friday, April 16, 2010 View Comments

Welcome to this week’s Free Book Friday, wherein we give you the best titles in indie publishing for the low low price of nothing. Congrats to last week’s winner Barbara S. for getting a free copy of Evangeline by Ben Farmer.

Windward Passage by Jim Nisbet

This week, we are giving away a copy of Windward Passage by Jim Nisbet. In the parallel near-future, a ship named for a jellyfish sinks into the Caribbean with its captain chained to the mast. Left behind is a logbook missing ten pages, presidential DNA hidden in a brick of smuggled cocaine, and a nearly-completed novel. Tipsy, the dead sailor’s sister, and Red Means, his erstwhile employer, travel from San Francisco to the Caribbean and back as they attempt to unravel a mystery that rapidly widens from death at sea to international conspiracy.

This week’s Free Book Friday is sponsored by The Overlook Press. The Overlook Press is an independent general-interest publisher, founded in 1971. The publishing program consists of nearly 100 new books per year, evenly divided between hardcovers and trade paperbacks. The list is eclectic, but areas of strength include interesting fiction, history, biography, drama, and design.

To enter the giveaway, all you have to do is comment in the space below. Make sure to tell us your email address so we can contact you if you win! We also recommend doing the following:

Winner will be chosen randomly at 12pm on Friday, April 23 and notified via email. The winner must respond to our email within 48 hours, or a new winner will be randomly selected.

Good luck!
