Warbreaker by Brandon Sanderson

My name is Brandon Sanderson. Before anything else, I’d like to thank you for your interest in my books. I hope you enjoy Warbreaker. In case you don’t know, I’m a professional fantasy novelist. My first book, Elantris, was published in some thirteen languages, earned me a Campbell nomination, and got starred reviews in Publisher’s Weekly and the Library Journal. My second book, Mistborn, is out in paperback. Peter Watts' Backlist. O'Reilly Open Books Project.

O'Reilly has published a number of Open Books--books with various forms of "open" copyright--over the years.

O'Reilly Open Books Project

The reasons for "opening" copyright, as well as the specific license agreements under which they are opened, are as varied as our authors. Perhaps a book was outdated enough to be put out of print, yet some people still needed the information it covered. Or the author or subject of a book felt strongly that it should be published under a particular open copyright.

Maybe the book was written collectively by a particular community, as in the case of our Community Press books. But there's more to making Open Books available online than simply adopting an open license or giving up rights granted under copyright law. We're happy to have partnered with two innovative nonprofits, Creative Commons and the Internet Archive, to solve the licensing and digitizing challenges involved in bringing Open Books to readers.

7th Son: Descent. “(T)hriller readers seeking edge-of-your-seat action flavored with conspiracy and futuristic tech will love every page.”

7th Son: Descent

—Publishers Weekly As America reels from the bizarre presidential assassination committed by a child, seven men are abducted from their normal lives and delivered to a secret government facility. Each man has his own career, his own specialty. All are identical in appearance. The seven strangers were not born, but grown — unwitting human clones — as part of a project called 7th Son. The government now wants something from these “John Michael Smiths.” “(C)ombines political conspiracy and tomorrow’s bioengineering to create an accessible package for fans of conspiracy theories and high-tech speculative fiction.” “Hutchins’ high-tech nightmares leap off the page and lodge in your brain like a literary headshot.
