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.

I had the pleasure of being interviewed by author David Torres last week. He had questions about Sword of Damocles and writing in general. Check out the interview by clicking here.

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.

Codebreakers Winner #2

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.
