New Novel By Co-Creator Of Dishonored, Deus Ex, Free For A Limited Time.

by MoreLikeAndy

We could all try to read a little more in our lives. Though not sure that too much TV rots the brain, it’s nice to sit in a comfy chair to escape into our oft forgotten imaginations that books tend to nourish. Well, I have a deal for you that will not only get you to go back to those imaginations, it’s also free.

Big Jack is Dead - Cover

Starting today and continuing until tomorrow, Harvey Smith‘s new novel, Big Jack is Dead, will be free on the Amazon Kindle store for two days only starting today, May 29th. Mr. Smith is known recently for co-creating Dishonored as well as past endeavors like Lead Designer of Deus Ex and Creative Director of the sequel, Invisible War. Describing Big Jack is Dead as a “semi-autobiographical, Southern Gothic novel that depicts inherited behaviors we cannot escape” definitely has my interests peaked already. Being free, it can’t hurt to give in to curiosity and read Big Jack is Dead either.

If you need a little more than just my stupid words to get you intrigued, here is an excerpt from the book:

Excerpt from Big Jack is Dead

I flew to Houston first class. Why not? Your dad only kills himself once. The seat next to me was empty, which was great since I didn’t feel like talking to anyone. So what brings you to Texas?

Slumping back in the seat, I turned my head and pressed my cheek against the cool leather. The plane wobbled and dipped, rattling a tray nearby. Two men across the aisle stopped talking briefly and the seat belt reminder chimed and lit up. We jerked around then hit smooth air, leveling out. An airline attendant passed, offering blankets. I closed my eyes to erase the people around me, cupping a glass of ice in my left hand. The whiskey was gone, but the smell was still strong and the ice cubes still carried the flavor. I struggled to unwind even as the warmth of the drink spread through me.

It would be impossible to relax around my family. They would come up with stunts I couldn’t predict, guided by unknowable winds that resulted in improbable acts.
