If you’re interested, the giveaway total was 8,911 books in 24 hours. Nearly 8,000 of those were in the US. The book’s cracked a few US charts for the very first time (technothillers, comic fiction) and went back into the UK humour chart at number 5. It’ll be interesting to see if the effect lasts.

Yes, it’s about ten times higher, around 8,600 compared to 800ish. UK numbers were about 1/2 of the previous amount – 1,250ish compared to around 2,500.

Yes! You’ve regained the no. 1 spot in the coveted Technothrillers chart!
I wasn’t going to give that one up without a fight.
I think I’ve finally figured that one out: a technothriller is a vibrator.
