Codebreakers Winner #4

A big congratulations to Nathan Yeh from Ada, Michigan. He's got some great code breaking skills. He became the fourth person to win an autographed copy of Sword of Damocles on August 3rd by breaking the code listed in the back of the book.

Congratulations, Nathan. I'm truly impressed.

I've promised to give away one more autographed copy of Sword of Damocles. If anyone else out there needs help breaking the code, here's a hint: The type of cipher used in Codebreakers is named after a general, statesman, Consul who was born in 100 BC. He died on March 15, 44 BC.

Good luck.

Codebreakers Winner #3

I want to congratulate David Torres for becoming the third person to break the code located in the back pages of Sword of Damocles. He cracked the code this morning and won an autographed copy of the book.

I had an interesting conversation with him about how he broke the code. He acquired his code breaking skills by reading another book. I'd tell you more, but I still have two more autographed books to give away.

If you're looking for some help in breaking the code, here's a hint I previously posted: The type of cipher used in Codebreakers is named after a general, statesman, Consul who was born in 100 BC. He died on March 15, 44 BC.

Good luck.

Congratulations, Kalpit! He has won an autographed copy of Sword of Damocles by cracking the code located in the back pages of the book. He became the second person to break the code on March 16, 2014.

Remember, the first five people who break the code win an autographed paperback edition of Sword of Damocles. If you have tried to crack the code and are having a hard time, here's a hint I posted on December 1: The type of cipher used in Codebreakers is named after a general, statesman, Consul who was born in 100 BC. He died on March 15, 44 BC.

Good luck.

To date, there has only been one person to crack the code included in the back pages of Sword of Damocles (congratulations, Nancy). Here's a hint for those of you out there who are currently working on it.

The type of cipher used in Codebreakers is named after a general, statesman, Consul who was born in 100 BC. He died on March 15, 44 BC.

Good luck. And remember, the first five to break the code win an autographed paperback copy of Sword of Damocles.

Codebreakers Update

For those of you who may not know, there is a secret code located in the back pages of SWORD OF DAMOCLES (both ebook and print editions). Look in the back of the book for a page titled Codebreakers. The first five people to break the code will receive an autographed paperback edition.

And we have our first winner. Congratulations to Nancy for being the first to break the code! She's a skilled codebreaker. I know I'm impressed at how fast she cracked the code.

I plan to post a clue on December 1, 2013 if we don't have all five winners by that date.
