It is very interesting how much good books can be found on the Internet for free. And when I say free, I'm not talking about torrent and warez sites, but about books that have been published by the authors themselves or publishing houses for anyone to download and read, completely free of charge.

One such books which I've just read is titled 'Agent of Vega', by James H. Schmitz. I've downloaded it from an excellent Baen Free Library (the link to which I found through the FBReader's Free Books page, of course).
