Score! A free E-Book that I WANT to read!

Barnes and Noble has James Rollins' Garden of Aden available as an E-Book for Free! I'm a fan of James Rollins' researched fiction. In fact, this book is on my "Books to Read" list. So I downloaded and will use my iPhone's Barnes and Noble Reader until I get my nook.
