Why any publishers are releasing free books today, I have no idea! (In tact there are WAY MORE than usual! But I’m up before the family and can’t bustle about without waking people up so if I find some I’ll share at least a few. I’ll probably just do nonfiction and only any fiction I get a notification for automatically.

FICTION

Nature Survival, War, and other Hardship

Crossing the Rubicon (The Journey)
“the story of seven remarkable teens as they survive the unbelievable. What started out as a simple weekend trip exploring the Chungo caves, became a journey which took them back 275 years in time, had them cross multiple continents, and stretched them to their limits. Discover how they survived with just the clothes on their backs, some limited technology and their wits and resolve. In a world without computers, without the basic items we use each day, could you survive?”

Midwife : Liza
“LIZA is the first book in the MIDWIFE series, which tells the story of midwives, women and childbirth in England from medieval to modern times. “

Collapse, Post-Apocalypse, Speculative Futures

Method of Life
“In The Future: There was no great war of nations, no thundering voice from the sky unleashing a rapture of judgment on the kneeling masses, and no great extinction level event of cataclysmic proportions. The Fall of Man came incrementally over half a century, in the form of economic and social decay, spiraling civilization into collapse without so much as a whimper. At least that's the story people believed.”

The Hu Factor
”The impossible has happened -- a magnetic polar shift destroyed life as they knew it and small pockets of survivors are left to fend for themselves. Survival is their top priority, but certainly not their only problem as bigotry and exploitation soon raise their ugly heads. What will they do, where will they go and why do they have the feeling someone or something is watching them?”

Left Behind (#2) A Post-Apocalyptic Love Story (No Shelter Trilogy)
#2 of series.  "When the environment is ravaged by rising sea levels and monstrous storms, America is divided and survival becomes more precious than love."  #1 and #2 have been free before, but #3 never has since I've been looking.   Not free at the moment: No Shelter (#1) A Post-Apocalyptic Romance (No Shelter Trilogy)

 and Buried Alive (No Shelter, #3) A Post-Apocalyptic Romance (No Shelter Trilogy)

From the same author as above:

Darklandia
Dystopia, “better than 1984,” for plot see link.

12 DAYS - BOOK ONE
“August 10, 3100. A dangerous ideology has spread across the globe. Touted as the salvation for all, a bold new plan is set to commence in twelve days, with the promise of creating a complete and lasting peace for all the peoples of the world. But only a few know the truth of this plan, and how it will bring forth a cataclysmic event unmatched by any disaster in history. And of these few, only President John Renton can do anything to stop it. But very powerful and corrupt people support the plan, and they will do whatever they can to stand in his way, even if it means innocent people have to die.”

Element 238 - The Search for Truth - Episode 1
“It’s 2382 - three hundred and fifty years into Earth’s future. Ninety-eight per cent of the Earth’s population and animal life has been carelessly eliminated by a genetically engineered virus released by Mensam – a small group of hidden, ruthless, and sinister military dictators living deep underground, while mankind and all it’s history has been erased…”

Immemorial
“The story takes place in a near future dystopia as a man wakes to find himself accused of the largest single act of terrorism in English history. Who is Ernest Featherstone and why can he not remember? Part satire, part traditional literary dystopia, Immemorial is a dark and witty exploration of identity, morality, religion and relationships against a backdrop of an England in turmoil.”

GROID 2235 AD...Gradual.Race.Objective.In.Dilution

DATA Corp
“Clyde Teach stumbles upon a formula that changes the very fabric of society. This is most welcome given that the world finds itself in the throws of what can only be described as a Super Depression… it is the irresponsible manner in which his intellectual wealth is used to create and control material wealth that ultimately threatens to destroy society completely.”

Foundlings
Short story. “In a terrifying near-future world, a teenage girl goes on the run with her pregnant twin in order to save all three lives. It's a story about sisters, unconditional love, and the things we learn that make us doubt everything we've ever been taught.”

Passage to Redemption
“Imagine the uncertainty ceased and the world was faced with an indisputable, stark truth:- reduce atmospheric CO2 to pre-biblical levels within three years or the human race will be destroyed. What would we do, what could we do? Who would lead us? Passage to Redemption is an epic, multi-threaded thriller that spans the centuries from early Mayan times to the year 2012. Starting on board a British warship in the early 1800s, the story includes the quest of a young man to find his only living relative, a hitherto unknown voyage to South America by the father of Charles Darwin that has hugely important consequences, and politics of power amongst the world's largest religions as mankind faces the brink of extinction. “

The Blaster
“Evan Lehman cannot say with any certainty what happened. Like most people, he hears bits and pieces. Power went out across the globe and never came back on. People adapted, eventually. Some, like Lehman and his family, had foresight and banded together with others and formed new types of communities. Lehman and two other men had the idea to network with other communities, so they ventured out on a road trip around the southeast. What they encounter will not only change their idea of what is possible, but change the new world itself. “

Original Strand
Not free in Canada, possibly USA only. “The human race did its best to annihilate itself and certainly went out with a bang. Hundreds of nuclear devices and biological viruses have transformed the earth into a no man’s land. For the isolated moon survivors, biodiversity takes on a whole new meaning.”

Dominion I: Seed
1st of “an apocalyptic epic in seven books;” “A great monument of the Islamic faith crumbles to the ground in a freak earthquake, setting the stage for mankind’s entry into the next age; an apocalyptic time where right and wrong, love and indifference, and black and white fade into alternating shades of gray. “


More Sci-Fi-or-Fantasy-ish

Communion of Dreams
“The year is 2052, and the human race is still struggling to recover from a massive pandemic flu some 40 years previously. When an independent prospector on Saturn’s moon Titan discovers an alien artifact, assumptions that we are alone in the universe are called into question. Knowing that news of such a discovery could prompt chaos on Earth, a small team is sent to investigate and hopefully manage the situation. What they find is that there's more to human history, and human abilities, than any of them ever imagined. And that they will need all those insights, and all those abilities, to face the greatest threat yet to human survival.”
