Mood: ecstatic
Music: Big Country, "Just a Shadow."

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.

This is a comment.

In other news, while I intellectually know that May 22nd is not ALL THAT MUCH EARLIER than "June x" -- my entire body clenched in delight and went SQUEEEEEEE because I get to read Blackout earlier than I had thought I would.

Oh, I must comment! I will not win, statistically, since I never do, but hope springs and all that. Also, winning would be nice, despite the fact that I have to buy at least two copies anyway, possibly three. Go Team Mira! ;-)

Ack....my copies are in storage due to having the house on the market so I guess all I can hope for is an early copy.

Ooh, May 22? Awesome! Means I get to go ahead and start the other two soon then! (I was told by a friend that knows my reading prefs that I was not allowed to pick up Feed or Deadline until Blackout was out. He feared for the safety of my ereader)

"Look for the last word of the twelfth chapter of Feed."

Crap. That's what I get for loaning my precious books to friends. Guess I'll be hitting up the library.

PS - It's been really fun watching the contest roll out across the various feeds in my reader all day. Your publisher has a wicked sense of fun... and apparently knows my demographic very well.
