The Rocketbelt Caper is now available as a free download! The eBook contains the full text of the new US edition of the book, which is released in paperback on 29 June.

The book tells the true story of three men who set out to build a real-life Buck Rogers-style flying machine called the Rocketbelt 2000. But their obsession with the rocketbelt shattered their friendship and set in motion an astonishing chain of events involving theft, deception, a bizarre kidnapping, a ten million dollar lawsuit and a horrifically brutal murder.

The eBook is released under a Creative Commons license.

It’s available in a range of DRM-free formats, including ePub, Mobipocket, and custom PDF, and is compatible with Amazon Kindle, Sony Reader, iPhone or iPod Touch, iRex iLiad, Smartphone, PDA, Adobe Reader and more. And, of course, you can read it on your PC screen.

The eBook is hosted by and can be downloaded from Feedbooks, and you can also get format advice and help from that website.

If you have an iPhone or iPod Touch you can access the eBook via the Stanza app – just select Online Catalog and access ‘Feedbooks – Free Content’.

Why is it free? In a nutshell, because I want it to be read by as many people as possible. Please download it, read it and – hopefully – enjoy it. If you do enjoy it, you might like to tell your friends, or buy one of the lovely paperback editions, and if you think the eBook is worth paying for, you might even like to make a donation here. Thank you very much in advance. If you don’t enjoy it, well I’m sorry about that, but – hey – at least it was free.
