ABOUT ME:

Hi, Amazon.com readers! I'm Ann Crispin, aka A.C. Crispin.

Seasons Greetings! StarBridge is now available on Kindle!

My holiday "present" to everyone is that the StarBridge Series is finally going to be available as electronic editions! Over the past five or six years, I've gotten dozens of requests from my readers who have wanted to complete their collection of StarBridge books by reading them on their e-readers.

Now, thanks to Ridan Publishing, StarBridge, Book One is available in all major e-book formats on the Ridan website and right here on Amazon.com for the Kindle. The first three StarBridge Books, StarBridge, Silent Dances, and Shadow World, will be out before the Christmas holiday, and the remaining four, Serpent's Gift, Silent Songs, Ancestor's World, and Voices of Chaos will be following early in the New Year.

I can't tell you how thrilled I am about this. StarBridge has always been near and dear to my heart.

If the e-editions do well, there may be MORE StarBridge adventures to come...I'm talking brand-new, original stories. So please...check them out!


Also, still available if my Pirates of the Caribbean prequel book, The Price of Freedom. Not to make to big a deal of it, but the hardcover would make a heck of a good present for any fan of PotC. Remember, books keep on giving long after the holidays are over.

The Price of Freedom is the first full-length novel written in the Pirates of the Caribbean universe aimed at adult readers. It's a prequel to the POTC films, and tells how Jack Sparrow first became Captain Jack Sparrow. It tells how he first encountered Cutler Beckett and Hector Barbossa, and why he left Shipwreck Cove. Jack also meets some unusual ladies in the book. And, since it's a Pirates of the Caribbean story, there's also treasure and magic!

The Price of Freedom is available in both hardcover and Kindle versions. If you're familiar with my other books, I've done for Jack Sparrow what I did for Han Solo and Sarek --this novel is his backstory.

Check out that cover art. Neat, huh? You can get a closer look on my website. You can also read five excerpts from the book there. Here's the link:

5.0 out of 5 stars All the best things about sci-fi in one book., May 7, 2009

This review is from: Starbridge (Paperback)

This excellent sci-fi tale doesn't do anything *new*--it's a pretty standard first-contact story--but it does what it does *really well*. First time I can remember that a sci-fi book brought smiling tears to my eyes. I'd happily use this book to introduce someone to the entire sci-fi genre.

This review is from: Starbridge (Paperback)

And excellent science fiction book that is hard to put down. It also kicks off a 7-book series that are of the same page-turning quality. I highly recommend them all.

5.0 out of 5 stars Creative and Enjoyable, January 18, 2007

By 

Kayla P. "The Magnificent" (Republic of Texas) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Starbridge (Paperback)

This is a truly great science fiction book.It has some original plot elements that are refreshing, for example, not all aliens in this book(unlike Star Trek) merely look humans in a fake suit. Also, the romance aspect of this book is well done and quite enjoyable. Definitely the best of the series.Recommend for all science fiction fans.One more note-its nice to read science fiction that does not have to be grotesquely violent or lewd to be entertaining.
