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.

What does it mean if I went a roundabout way to get the passwords? Would that be in the spirit of this given that it's "liberating" a file? :P R290dGEgbG92ZSBiYXNlNjQh

I LOVE puzzles. That was a nice half-hour to decipher the clues. I'm going to read that excerpt (which, by the way, is misspelled on the website!)(grin) ASAP!

I have been staring at my calendar every day willing Blackout to come to me sooner. So far it hasn't worked, but maybe this comment will help. :D

Comment comment comment! (I'm hoping May 22nd applies to the UK too because I have the end of May off work, for no particular reason I thought when I booked it. Clearly my subconscious was waaaaay ahead of me.)
