Freeper Novel .99 Cents Today

On Friday 14, 2014 “Havelock’s Corpse,” by Bern Pearson on Amazon.com will be .99 cents. Desperate to keep his job at defense contractor Prospero Industries, Havelock must locate their mysterious top salesman, Nick Necropolis, and find out the status of a planned $30 million cash deal. But Nick is dead. Now, to keep his job Havelock must hide the corpse and complete the deal. But Nick’s body keeps getting moved to where it will be found…then, Havelock is threatened. The Israelis will kill him if the deal goes through and the Syrians will kill him if it doesn’t. As if matters couldn’t be worse…Havelock discovers what it is he’s selling.

I’ve worked thirty years in defense. Except for the contents of the spray bottle and the briefcase everything described here is true. Supposedly, big companies follow the law, but sometimes the “government” asks for favors and we comply. Government is in quotes because I always felt if the press had gotten ahold of what they’d done the “government” would come down like Thor’s hammer. So, the money must have been worth it. One day I walked past the copier and three secretaries were feverishly copying the serial numbers on new $100 bills. Suitcases full of $100 bills. It took all day. My company was illegally supplying radios through the CIA to the Contras. Then, one day several armor vehicles we’d supposedly built for the West Germans disappeared. A few weeks later I saw them on TV with the new leader of Honduras in the lead. Then, there was a dead body, although this one was a heart attack. And, unlike in the novel, it stayed put. The company salesman is a composite of several, but they’re all pretty much ready to sell their Mom.

The intention is to entertain the heck out of you with a funny, rollicking fast adventure.

How to create a link:
<a href="http://www.freerepublic.com/home.htm">www.Free Republic.com</a>
A means anchor. H ref means horizontal reference. It's called horizontal because the computer is going across the web to a different page. There are also vertical links that can go to specific points on the same page. What comes after the a href= is where the computer will go. The horizontal reference is the complete URL of the page you want to link. It's in the navigation bar at the top of your web browser. Highlight it and copy it. Make sure you get all of it. Some URLs are surprisingly long, and if you miss some of the URL, the link might not work.
You can type anything between the <a href=></a> parts.
