(Las Vegas, NV)— Joseph R. Pesta, published by iUniverse, Inc., announced today…

Countdown, the science fiction novel by author Joseph R. Pesta, is now available for the Amazon Kindle, the popular e-Reader from Amazon.com.

About the book: A science fiction thriller full of action, mystery, intrigue, and suspense, Countdown follows Agent Jake Keeler on a mission that spans three worlds. A powerful missile has been stolen. A growing terrorist organization has laid down its demands. If their deadline isn’t met, the destruction of half a planet will soon follow. Millions will die, and a vital economic agreement, created to unite the three habitable worlds of the Ziara system, will never come to pass. Having already mysteriously lost four of its top agents trying to track down the terrorist leader, the Bureau—the most known and feared organization in the charted galaxy—sends out its best agent to stop the terrorist threat before it is too late. Can Agent Jake Keeler put an end to the plans of the terrorists before the lives of millions are lost, or will the countdown begin toward the destruction that will change the face of the Ziara system forever?

From the author: “I’m very happy to see Countdown released for the Kindle,” said author Joseph R. Pesta recently. “With the popularity of the Kindle, and other reader devices like it, I think we're just seeing the beginnings of the e-book finally coming into its own. Up until now, the e-book format always had potential, but never really took off. I think the Kindle, and devices like it have changed that. The e-ink technology creates the feeling of reading text on a normal page, rather than a computer screen, and it does it without tiring a person's eyes. It just makes the experience of reading an e-book much more comfortable than it used to be, and I think reader's understand that. That, along with the convenience of being able to carry your library of books with you anywhere, has definitely contributed to the popularity of e-Reader devices. We're a society that's much more on the go than in years before, and just as we are now able to carry our music and video collections with us, it only makes sense that our books, newspapers, and magazines follow.” Asked if he thinks e-books threaten the publishingindustry, Pesta replied, “I don't think they threaten the publishing industry. I think it's just more of a natural progression. Just as music and video have become popular in digital format, I think it's only natural that people will want to have they're reading materials available to them digitally as well. It's all about convenience and portability. I think that is where the industry is moving. Sure, it might be different, but that doesn't make it a bad thing. It's really just another way to distribute content, and the consumer has the choice to decide what content format is right for them.”
