"Scott Washburn's SF&F novels now on Kindle!" Topic

Scott Washburn's science fiction and fantasy novels are now available for the Kindle! My novels have solid plots, good science, consistent magic systems, and compelling characters. And always a few battles! Give them a try!

War Among the Ruins

A science fiction novel set in the far future. The vast and powerful Star League is on the brink of victory after a long and bloody war with a ruthless alien race called the Darj-Nang. But the enemy has one last card to play and a devastating sabotage plot cripples the high-tech devices of the League. Faced with the total collapse of their civilization, all hope rests on the crew of one obsolete starship, which has escaped the sabotage. As old enemies close in to pick the bones of the League, the LSS Gilgamesh and her crew make a desperate journey to an abandoned world in hopes of finding an answer to the Darj-Nang plot. New foes, unlikely allies, and unexpected dangers await.

Fires of Memory

A fantasy novel. The kingdoms of the east have all but forgotten the old magic. Science has replaced the wizards; muskets and cannons have replaced the swords and armor of the old knights. But across the mountains, Atark, a shaman of their ancient enemy, the nomadic Kaifeng, has rediscovered the old magic and, thirsting for revenge for his murdered family, he unleashes it in a new war of conquest. As city after city falls to the invader, Matt, a young soldier, and Jarren, a reluctant scholar, desperately search for an answer to this seemingly unstoppable weapon. Meanwhile, Kareen and Thelena, two young women from different cultures, are thrown together by fate—and find that in a world drenched in blood, the only thing they can count on is each other.

Pathfinder

Physicist David Dysinger has a dream: build the first faster-than-light starship and go to the stars. The technology is there, all it will take is money. But the stagnant society on Earth, with 99% of the population living in virtual reality worlds, has no interest in a starship. The members of the small space-based society which does most of the real work are interested in David's starship, but they are under the thumb of their Earth-based masters. David is determined to pursue his dream, but he has no clue of the extents that Earth's rulers will go to maintain the status quo. A tale of adventure, exploration, discovery—and revolution.

You should extract some of the fighting from the novels, and publish wargaming scenarios for them.

Are they available for the nook?

Aren't all those electronic book thingies the same?

No – Kindle books only work on kindle. If you had an epub version that would work on the nook.

The hell with those.

I'd like to see your thesis on ACW tactics using Kernstown as an example on Amazon!

Hi Bede,

I managed to find some of my old files on Kernstown and the maps, but parts are still missing. I'll keep working on it.

Thanks Scott.

BTW, I'm sure your sci fi books are excellent, it's just that sci fi isn't my thing.

I have a Nook but run Kindle software on my PC.

When I want an eBook that's only available on Amazon (or if Amazon's price is better), I download it to Kindle, then use conversion software to translate it to ePub and copy it my Nook as a file.

I believe you'll find a lot of converters out there, but I'm currently using Calibre.

I assume you can also go the other way, if you have a Kindle and want to load up files only available in ePub. Get them onto your PC, convert via Calibre or another tool, then copy to the Kindle.

The only downside to this is if you have multiple devices, the translated file isn't available on the Nook store or Kindle store so it synchs down. I have two Nooks so I have to manually copy the file twice if I want it on both.

There is Kindle for Android but I haven't jailbroken my Nook Color yet; if you've done that probably you can just pull the file down straight off Amazon. On my phone I do that, I run both Kindle and Nook apps and don't have to worry about the conversion.

Thanks – I will give that a try. I have a nook color as well and do all my reading on that
