As you know, I regularly review books around here.  Since there are always so many great books that I want to read, I usually have to decide which ones capture my attention right now.  To help make that decision, Amazon allows you to read information about the book, about the author, reader reviews and a growing number of books include sample pages.  The ability to read what the book is about and then read a few pages is awesome.  It usually helps to hook me.  But, now, what if you could read the first 10 chapters of a book to see if you wanted to read the rest?  Would you read it?

That is exactly what J.C. Hutchins is doing.  J.C. Hutchins is the author of 7th Son: Descent (Amazon link) and has decided to release the first 10 chapters of the book, available as a PDF, today.  His hope?  Well, it’s two part.  First, as an increasing number of books are released each year, authors are having to come up with different and creative ways to promote.  J.C. definitely accomplishes that with this promotion.  Secondly, he hopes that he hooks you so much after reading the first 10 chapters that you’ll cough up the few dollars to buy the book and read the rest of it.

Want to know what the books is about?  Check out this description taken from J.C.’s site:

As America reels from the bizarre presidential assassination committed by a child, seven men are abducted from their normal lives and delivered to a secret government facility. Each man has his own career, his own specialty. All are identical in appearance. The seven strangers were not born, but grown — unwitting human clones — as part of a project called 7th Son.

The government now wants something from these “John Michael Smiths.” They share the flesh as well as the implanted memories of the psychopath responsible for the president’s murder. The killer has bigger plans, and only these seven have the unique qualifications to track and stop him. But when their progenitor makes the battle personal, it becomes clear John Alpha may know the seven better than they know themselves…

Once I read that, I was hooked.  I love government thrillers so I started getting excited as I read the above description.  I’m in the middle of reading the PDF now and I already know that I’ll be buying a copy of the book.  The book is definitely getting some rave reviews.  How about you?  Want to check out the first handful of chapters for free and decide for yourself?
