Don't worry. We've got your back.
First things first - yep. The novel is being offered completely 100% free of charge as part of Read an Ebook Week. It currently has "Five Stars" reviews across the board on Amazon.com. Here are snippets from the reviews to give you an idea of what people are saying about Escaping Destiny:Escaping Destiny is an extremely impressive first novel! I was transported to another amazing world and found it difficult to pull myself away from this story! From the depth of each character to the mesmerizing description of their world, I was truly swept away. Jeffery Pierce is an up and coming author you'll want to keep your eye on! This is one of the few novels I have read that I would dearly love see in movie form, it would be a block buster without a doubt!!!! Five stars really isn't enough to rate this one.

I found this book to be so absorbing that I couldn't put it down. Finally had to just pace myself or nothing would get done in the house, plus I wanted to savor it.
It holds you spell bound. I would go oh I will just finish this chapter, and next thing I knew I was on another chapter.
#
The characters are colorful, believable, and consistent, and their journey through the book is riveting!
#
I found myself completely absorbed by each character as they struggled to overcome their personal and collective trials. I used to say that science fiction was not my forte in choosing my books, I can no longer say that. I give "Escaping Destiny" five stars and am anxiously waiting for the next one in this series.

I cannot say enough about this first novel by Jeffrey Pierce. From the first sentence, you are transported into a world completely unlike our own and, yet, strangely familiar. Lush visual landscapes and well-developed characters fill this story and you become a part of it. You willingly join their journey, sharing their glimpses into a dark and unsettling future. Your heart will race with fear, as you frantically turn the pages to see what happens next, and you will laugh out loud at some of their foibles. Is everything truly set before them or can they escape destiny? Pick up this book, settle into a very comfortable chair, and step into Escaping Destiny to find out!
#
I highly suggest Escaping Destiny! Read it even before it becomes the cool thing to do.
#
I am a picky reader, if I don't like it in the first 5 chapters it doesn't get read. I couldn't put this book down, very well written!! I am excited for the sequel!
#
I read a lot of novels, and I find many story lines to be regurgitation of the same old themes. This book however is completely different, and SO good! You absolutely will not believe that this is a first novel. The characters are well fleshed out, the world is rich and beautifully described, and the plot will have you turning pages until you finish it. If you start this book in the evening make sure you can sleep in the next morning because I guarantee you that you will be up all night! The only downside will be the wait until the next book comes out, because you will be dying to find out what happens next. I've never reviewed a book before, but this was good enough for me to want to encourage people to give this new author a try.
#
From the first page, I found myself inside the story but without having to suspend disbelief, because this tale is told in a way that makes it all feel plausible.
#
From the very first page, you are swept away into a land of beliveable fantasy. Jeffrey's characters draw you to them, pulling you to them like warriors to a fight. The lands they inhabit are richly drawn, full of contrast, light to dark, beauty to stark brutal reality, love and hate, and glory to despair. Until you read the final page, you will keep this book close, sneaking a page or two at every opportunity, sleep is optional once you begin! I cannot wait for the 2nd book of the trilogy!
#
Being an avid bibliophile it's unusual for me to come across a book that will keep me up all night. "Escaping Destiny" by Jeffrey Pierce, did just that.
#
I found myself completely absorbed by each character as they struggled to overcome their personal and collective trials. I used to say that science fiction was not my forte in choosing my books, I can no longer say that. I give "Escaping Destiny" five stars and am anxiously waiting for the next one in this series.
#
I read a lot of fantasy and sci-fi and I haven't found a book that excited me like this one in a very long time. I picked it up as a curiosity (it was a free promotion) but once I started reading it, I couldn't put it down. I stayed up way too late and read the entire book straight through. I'm paying for it by being tired today, but it was worth it - the book equivalent of a really good movie. I highly recommend it.
#
Crazy good! I don't typically love most books, but this was one of the best I've read in a long time.
#
This book easily earns 5 stars from me, and makes my "Favorite Books of All Time" list!

I don't own an ebook reader. What I did was download Calibre (which is free) and installed it on my laptop. It's a little bigger than a Kindle or Nook, but it works just fine. Calibre is availabe for Windows, OS X, and Linux.
