It’s Christmastime, and maybe some young adult in your family is a reader who likes adventures involving time travel, history, and good clean fun. If so, you might be interested in Shadow of the Flag (A Young Ace Roberts Adventure Book) by my brother Kerry Frey. Read the book and you’ll learn more about Jules Verne and the Civil War. I won’t say more than that.

As a thank-you to my readers, I am funding a giveaway of the Kindle version of the book. Any subscriber is entitled to claim a free copy. In addition, the first 25 readers who email me a request for the book will receive it, absolutely free.

Here’s what you have to do: email me at patterico AT gmail DOT com. Put “Shadow of the Flag” in the subject line. In the email, provide with with an email address that you have a Kindle or a Kindle app registered to. (You don’t need a Kindle to use a Kindle app.) Typically, that will be the email address that you use to access your Amazon account. (If you are giving the book to someone else, provide an email address that their Kindle or Kindle app is registered to.) When you send me the request, make sure to tell me that the email address you are providing is the one you have a Kindle app registered to (or that your recipient does), so I know I am not wasting 5 bucks.

If you want to get it on your own, that is the cost: 5 bucks, through the link above. I want to do something to give back to you — and get people reading my brother’s book, which really is a great yarn.

All I ask is that you spread the word if you enjoy it. Merry Christmas.

P.S. Kerry’s first book was Buried Lie (a Young Ace Roberts Adventure). Also recommended.
