I understand that Brandon Sanderson's Mistborn (only my favorite fantasy book since, well, Elantris) is this week's offering, and John Scalzi's Old Man's War is on deck for next week. It's a promotion, it's DRM-less, and its totally free.
That's right, free.

But — of course — there’s a catch. A really not-at-all-painful catch: If you want the legal, free, ebook version of Old Man’s War and other books, you need to go here, to Tor.com, and sign up for a newsletter from Tor. Sign up for the newsletter, get the free ebooks. Simple.
Why is there a sign up form there? Because Tor has something really cool planned there. How cool? So cool that I gave them permission to give away my book to promote it. I could tell you more, but the laser beams pointed at my head from Tor’s phalanx of orbiting satellites inclines me to keep my mouth shut about it for now. Suffice to say, I think you would want to know about it even without the free books.
