I remember this series, 36 Hours, ages ago.  I hadn't read this one back then but remember the series logo and the many authors that contributed.  As I was reading the premise sounded so familiar so I had to do some research.Yes, if you dig deep enough this story was a 220 page paperback published in 1997.  In fact that book is advertised here on Amazon:  http://www.amazon.com/Lightning-Strikes-Hours-Mary-Baxter/dp/037365006X and if your desperate enough you can buy one of those original paperbacks by other sellers.With that said this kindle ebook is only 80 pages.  The 220 page story is divided up into 3 extremely short books.  They don't conclude until the third and final ebook.  So even though the first one is free, the next two cost.  So you have to judge for yourself if buying an old copy in paperback is as good as downloading and waiting on release dates.The series continues from author to author, different people in the same town.  There are a lot of different plots going on.  A wedding where the bride ran off.  A huge lightening storm and how it causes accidents and casualties in this small town.  In this story the focus is on two doctors and why Noah broke his engagement.  He never gave a reason but as the story unfolds we finally hear his side.The stories are compelling and written by top authors.  I know the ebook version will be popular -- I'm just upset that the books I remember from ages ago are finally made into ebook format. . . Only shortened. . . So yeah it's disappointing.  I saw on goodreads this series will go into 36 books.  Anyway, a great series back in the day.  Worth reading.  I hope the other authors that are getting their books from this series into ebook format will consider their work all in one download.  - Dan's Wife
