Then we're sure you're dying to get your hands on free and discounted ebooks in the Action and Adventure genre. You've come to the right place. All of our Action and Adventure authors that promote their ebooks want you to get their ebooks at the lowest price possible. Always free or discounted!
Definition of "Action and Adventure Genre": You may ask yourself, how does an Action and Adventure ebook differ from a Thriller ebook? Fair question. They may seem similar, but the main aspect of an Action and Adventure ebook is the element of consistent physical danger as a main part of the storyline. So, while our reference to Tom Cruise and, for instance, his Mission Impossible series was slightly tongue-in-cheek, those stories would actually fall into the Action and Adventure genre. Another important aspect of the Action and Adventure genre is that the pace of the novel using action is actually just as important as character building and setting--which makes the genre differ from others in a significant fashion.
Some examples of Action and Adventure bestselling ebooks are James Patterson (most of his Alex Cross novels), Pierce Brown (Red Rising), Tom Clancy (most of his Jack Ryan novels), and A.G. Riddle (The Atlantis Gene).

Gentleman. Ladykiller. Assassin. Spy.
King Ember has a secret weapon. His name is Killian Lord. He’s the king’s personal assassin. No one is faster with a blade, quicker on a horse, or sharper with a quip. He’s the only man in Alba allowed to kill outside the bounds of chivalry.

Legend says whoever wields the Shard can conquer the world. In the wrong hands, it could destroy Alba.
Short on manpower and time, Ember sends for his secret weapon—Killian Lord.
Lord’s mission is simple. Stop Durandal. But there’s a problem: Durandal is the greatest swordsman on the continent. No one has ever beaten him. He’s obsessed, indomitable, undefeated.
Then again, he has never fought Killian Lord…
How is he supposed to shield her from danger when she keeps running right toward it?

“A Michener epic is far more than a bedtime reader, it’s an experience. Poland is a monumental effort, a magnificent guide to a better understanding of the country’s tribulations.”—Chicago Tribune
In this sweeping novel, James A. Michener chronicles eight tumultuous centuries as three Polish families live out their destinies. The Counts Lubonski, the petty nobles Bukowksi, and the peasants Buk are at some times fiercely united, at others tragically divided. With an inspiring tradition of resistance to brutal invaders, from the barbarians to the Nazis, and a heritage of pride that burns through eras of romantic passion and courageous solidarity, their common story reaches a breathtaking culmination in the historic showdown between the ruthless Communists and rebellious farmers of the modern age. Like the heroic land that is its subject, Poland teems with vivid events, unforgettable characters, and the unfolding drama of an entire nation.
BONUS: This edition includes an excerpt from James A. Michener's Centennial.

Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a desperate, last-chance mission - and if he fails, humanity and the Earth itself will perish.

His crewmates dead, his memories fuzzily returning, he realizes that an impossible task now confronts him. Alone on this tiny ship that's been cobbled together by every government and space agency on the planet and hurled into the depths of space, it's up to him to conquer an extinction-level threat to our species.
And thanks to an unexpected ally, he just might have a chance.

The Martian Chronicles
Ray Bradbury is a storyteller without peer, a poet of the possible, and, indisputably, one of America's most beloved authors. In a much celebrated literary career that has spanned six decades, he has produced an astonishing body of work: unforgettable novels, including Fahrenheit 451 and Something Wicked This Way Comes; essays, theatrical works, screenplays and teleplays; The Illustrated Mein, Dandelion Wine, The October Country, and numerous other superb short story collections. But of all the dazzling stars in the vast Bradbury universe, none shines more luminous than these masterful chronicles of Earth's settlement of the fourth world from the sun.
Bradbury's Mars is a place of hope, dreams and metaphor-of crystal pillars and fossil seas-where a fine dust settles on the great, empty cities of a silently destroyed civilization. It is here the invaders have come to despoil and commercialize, to grow and to learn -first a trickle, then a torrent, rushing from a world with no future toward a promise of tomorrow. The Earthman conquers Mars ... and then is conquered by it, lulled by dangerous lies of comfort and familiarity, and enchanted by the lingering glamour of an ancient, mysterious native race.
Ray Bradbury's The Martian Chronicles is a classic work of twentieth-century literature whose extraordinary power and imagination remain undimmed by time's passage. In connected, chronological stories, a true grandmaster once again enthralls, delights and challenges us with his vision and his heart-starkly and stunningly exposing in brilliant spacelight our strength, our weakness, our folly, and our poignant humanity on a strange and breathtaking world where humanity does not belong.
Alpha team might comprise of people from very different backgrounds. From ex-spies, to a computer expert, to an ex-assassin. They might not even know each other’s hidden pasts. But after extensive training, they’ve formed one of the most formidable teams of covert agents.
Having suffered a devastating loss, Alpha Team must pick up the trail of a group responsible for committing heinous acts following supposedly natural disasters. But within the shadows and deep underground, Alpha Team are much like their targets; hidden to all who seek them. With nothing more than the name of one man, their morality, trust, secrecy and armoury are stretched to the limit by a hidden enemy.
The deeper Alpha Team go, the harder it becomes for them to stay under the radar of humanity, and the harder it becomes to stay in the shadows. As the natural disasters become more targeted, it’s clear their enemy is more than one step ahead. Their enemy might have an ever increasing reach of assets and technology, but so does Alpha team. Their enemy might seem unstoppable, but so does Alpha team.
A tough mission, even for the most skilled team of combat-ready agents, as the longer they take, the more lives are lost. Funded by the rich and a law unto themselves, nothing can describe them, but their one mission remains unchanged: Save Lives, no matter the cost.
