Your favourite incompetent buffoon of a space hero Captain Disaster didn't start off as a computer game character - the original short stories that inspired the games (currently The Dark Side of the Moon and soon to be Death Has a Million Stomping Boots, and in hopefully not too many years to come There's a Hole in my Galaxy) is now available for Amazon Kindle, priced at $2.99.  To make Danvzare happy I'm not going to be offering this free anytime! :grin:

It's comedy sci-fi, very silly and referencing many sci-fi books / movies / TV series, not so much breaking the 4th wall as ignoring the fact that it exists, etc.  It's not for the serious (or sound) of mind.

1 copy sold yesterday and it was tremendously exciting, but obviously it would be nice to sell a few thousand more! ;)

If you sell a non kindle version (pdf for example) you'll have another sale right here ;)

Hmm... I could use Smashwords I guess, they're annoyingly pedantic about formatting though which is why I haven't yet.  Would it make any difference to know that you can read Kindle eBooks in a browser via Amazon?  (I don't know if you already knew that - I only found out very recently.)  It would also appear that you can get the Kindle app for PC, Android, and iOS. 

(Not saying definitely never, but... for now I was hoping to stick with Kindle.  If that wouldn't work for you drop me an email ;-D;))

Aw you guys are the best!

Of course, I'm now sitting here in a mild panic desperately hoping you enjoy the eBook and don't feel like you've wasted your money! :shocked:

I've left a little review. Title "Captain Disaster boldly goes where only really Douglas Adams has gone before." :grin:
I'm about halfway through and it's getting better. Easy to read and very silly. You all should get a copy.
