Shadow Ops: Control Point Book Giveaway

Posted by Meg

As we know from Peat’s last blog post, Myke Cole’s book Shadow Ops: Control Point went on sale yesterday! In honor of Myke’s publication, Peat is giving away 3 copies of the book.

If you win, you will receive a paperback copy of the book plus a signed bookplate from Myke Cole himself and a challenge coin.

What’s a challenge coin, you say? Myke describes them as business cards that are actually more like shiny medals used in the military. He designed and commissioned (with the help of Peat) his own set of challenge coins based on the Supernatural Operations Corps in Control Point. Here’s what they look like:

Hop on over to Myke’s blog post to learn more about the making of these beautiful coins.

The signed bookplates and challenge coins will be sent out by Myke himself, separately from the books.

And so … the giveaway ….

The first 3 fans to respond correctly to the following question will win the book, the signature and the coin:

What did Myke originally want to call the “hydromancers” in Control Point?

The clock is ticking! Please leave your answers in the comments.

UPDATE: We will be giving away more copies of Control Point sometime next week!

  10. This book, looks amazing! I don’t know the answer to the question (although the majority here seems to be Aquamancers), but I’d still love to read it. Going to check it out on Amazon for sure! Congratulations to the first three who made it!

    The book was an excellent read. Finished it in one go, it kept me up most of last night.

  13. The answer is…aquamancers (as many have already said). FYI, this showed up in my feed on Goodreads but when I clicked it, I got a message in bold red print that said “this blog does not exist”. Goodreads took me to the last blog announcing the release of Shadow Ops. I don’t know what the problem was but thought you might want to know. Thanks.

  15. Can I ask how and where you had the coins made? Those things are really cool. I’d love to have a set made for my Spec Ops elves.
