Del Rey is offering Betrayal, book one of the Star Wars: Legacy of the Force series as a free download for a limited time in order to help launch the final book in the series, "Invincible".

I've never read any of the Star Wars books--I think I've had a mental block against it. Either that, or I just didn't want to give Lucas any more of my money. When I met my wife, we both had VHS copies of the original movies (Episodes 4-6). Then we got a VHS copy of the re-done Episodes 4-6. Then it was the DVD's of the re-done Episodes 4-6. Last, DVD's of Episodes 1-3. After having bought a VHS copy of Episode 1. Oh, and we both saw the original series in the movie theater way back when as kids. I refused to pay to see the re-done Episodes 4-6 (which is why I first bought it on VHS).

Anyway, neither you nor I need to spend any money on Betrayal--go download it for nothing.
