We know it can be hard to navigate the countless fantasy and science fiction series out there and figure out which ones are right for you. Well, we’re here to make those tough decisions a bit easier on you. With the Suvudu Free Book Library, you can read the first book in some of our most acclaimed series absolutely free!

They started with five books, but have continued to add new books each month. Titles include Star Wars: Lost Tribe of the Sith: Precipice, Magic Kingdom for Sale — Sold!, Elric: The Stealer of Souls and Assasin’s Apprentice just to name a few.

I know, I know…this does seem to be to good to be true, but it isn’t. I already downloaded a book and am starting to read it right now on my phone. Books are downloaded in PDF format, so if you don’t have a hand held device, you can still read them from your computer or laptop.

Given how tight money is for most people nowadays, this is a phenomenal idea. Read the first book for free and, if you like it, they offer the links for purchasing the rest of the books in the series. It’s a great way to take a series for a ‘test drive’. I’d write more about this great service, but I have a new book awaiting my attention!
