No, it's not Devil Colony. That comes out on the 21st (not that I'm counting down the minutes, dagnabit). And no, it's not available in any other version than as an e-book.
Don't let that scare you. First off, if you're one of the unfortunates that think you need a Kindle or Nook to read e-books, let me reassure you. If you have a computer (or even a smartphone) with internet access (which I would assume, since you're reading this), you can get apps that will allow you to read e-books in pretty much ANY format.
If you're like me and you just prefer the feel of a book in your hands, I'm going to tell you what I had to tell myself--get over it. I still buy my favorite authors in hardback. I buy books in used bookstores. I frequent libraries. I don't think that will ever change. But I'm also opening myself up to new experiences and new authors (especially indie or self-published ones) that come only through e-books.
And this one is worth checking out. It's only $.99, it's a short but great read filled with action (Rollins-style, so it has that veritas ring to it). Plus it's got a lengthy excerpt from Devil Colony at the end. Totally worth the buck I spent and then some.
So, if you're a thriller reader, you really have no excuse. If you're not, this is a great place to start. No long term commitment to a lengthy novel here. Plus, you get to experiment with a new format that is doing for publishing what mp3 players did for music.
You can get The Skeleton Key here. You can thank me below. :)
