The Bat-Blog is quickly becoming known for it's great contests & wonderful prizes, ha ha! So, here's the latest example. The grand prize in this contest is a First Edition Hardback Copy ( with Dust Jacket ) of THE 6 SACRED STONES by Matthew Reilly. He is an award-winning author and a New York Times Bestseller. This book follows his previous bestseller "7 DEADLY WONDERS." OK, I know this is not "Batman related item" but it is a really great book & a free contest! I know that many Bat-Blog fans also love to read good books so here's a chance to add this one to your collection. Basically I'm doing this to develop a relationship with a major publishing firm named Simon & Schuster. If this goes well then we might be able to get more books & more prizes for our readers in the near future. So, back to the book. The story brings back the main character known to many Reilly Fans, Jack West Jr. Jack and his loyal team of adventurers now they face an almost impossible challenge. A mysterious ceremony has triggered a catastrophic countdown that will climax with the end of all life on Earth. But there is one last hope. If Jack and his team can find and rebuild a legendary ancient device known only as the "Machine," they might be able to ward off the coming armageddon. The only clues to locating this Machine are held within the fabled Six Sacred Stones. And so the hunt begins for the 6 Sacred Stones and the knowledge they possess, but in the course of this wild adventure they will discover that they are not the only ones seeking the Stones and that there might just be other players out there who don't want to see the world saved at all. From Stonehenge in England to the deserts of Egypt to the spectacular Three Gorges region of China, The 6 Sacred Stones will take you on a nonstop roller-coaster ride through ancient history, modern military hardware, and some of the fastest and most mind-blowing action you will ever read.
Whew! OK, Here's the deal. From now until the end of this month ( January ) We will be accepting names to go into a hat & one lucky winner will be chosen at random. Just e-mail us your full name/address with the words "6 SACRED STONES" in the title & you will be entered into the contest. The contest will end on January 31st, 2008 at 11:00pm so be sure to send it before then. One last thing, here's a video of Matthew Reilly, the actual bestselling author, talking about this book. The funny thing is, he's a super toy collector ( you'll see ) & he has a lot of great stuff laying around his office...our kinda guy! Oh yeah, the "e-mail link button" is located at the left-side of this page, near the top....GOOD LUCK.
