That's the night that the lights went out...

Submitted for by my publisher for your approval...

***

Yesterday, io9 published an excerpt of Blackout, the final book in the Newsflesh trilogy. Today, an intrepid Newsie hacked into the CDC computer system and liberated another file. For this one, though, you'll have to do a little digging...

Below is a puzzle whose answer reveals one of the five codes you'll need to access the second, top-secret document.



Rumor has it that you should be hanging around these other blogs to gather the other four:



Once you've gathered all five codes, you can access the encrypted document at the Orbit Books site. WARNING: Massive spoilers for Feed and Deadline ahead!

Blackout will be available May 22nd.

***

I'll be talking more about that release date in a bit, but for now, you can totally trust it: May 22nd is accurate and good.

But wait! There's more! Comment on THIS POST for the opportunity to win one of two copies of Blackout. These will not be signed, as they will be sent by Orbit directly. This contest is open to US, Canada, and UK residents. I'll select the winners next Wednesday night, following my usual random number generator party rules.

GAME ON!

Commenting like a commentary commenty thing!
Comments are good! At least, so I've heard.

YAY! OMG *want*. So... comment. YAY!

*kermit flail*
Count me in for this countdown!
Must. Have. BOOK!
Commenting oh dammit my copy of _Feed_ is in someone else's hands argh!
Game on!
A Wild Comment Appears! It's super effective?
Ooh! Want!

And because I am weird, as fun as the treasure hunt sounds, it will only make my ache for Blackout all the more keen. So I shall wait until I can read the whole thing.

I am excited. Must remember to take time off of work.
Want. Must know how much worse it gets!

Dear RNG gods, please favor my comment.
Commenting! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEE ZOMBIES AND MASONS!
This is exquisitely, perfectly evil.

Rise up, my brothers and sisters, rise up.
This is more awesome than the Countdown series almost!!!!
Clued a guy talking about Walking Dead in to the existence of Feed, so I'm hoping for good karma here. (Setting a reminder for May 22 anyway.)
I can't wait for this one. And I like free books (what book lover wouldn't). But honestly, you've become one of the few authors I'll pick something up on on the strength of the author's name alone (I wasn't quite sure about Discount Armageddon for a couple of reasons, but I picked it up because it's by you and I ended up quite enjoying it.

In other words, I'd rather support you by buying Blackout, in this case.
What the hell, I'm game to win a copy. :)
Squeeeee!!! I can't wait!
I am so looking forward to Blackout!
Commenty comment commetness
Very excited about the new book! :)
So I have to comment, even though random number generators are rarely my friend. ;) xo
Commenting and hunting down the codes! Yaaaay!!!
