No Scotland, No Party! The UK Giveaway Winners

The Apex Code by Chris Chia, with two five star Best Book badges, UK giveaway winners announcement

The UK giveaway winners are in. A few weeks ago I offered five signed copies of The Apex Code to readers in the UK, and I promised to announce the winners right here once the draw was done. It’s done, so I won’t keep anyone waiting.

And the Winners Are…

Congratulations to the five UK giveaway winners of a signed copy of The Apex Code.

  • Jenny, from Fife
  • Ewen, from Aberdeen
  • Douglas, from Glasgow
  • Brenda, from Macduff
  • Stuart, from Cumbernauld

If you’re keeping score, that’s a clean sweep for Scotland. I’d love to claim I rigged it, but the draw was random, honest. Scotland just wanted it more, so there you have it, no Scotland, no party!

What Happens Next

Thank you to everyone who entered, and to everyone who passed it along. If you’re stateside and feeling left out, a US version is in the works. Your turn is coming, so look out for an announcement very soon.

Thanks for reading!

Chris

Reader Feedback

"Great page turner, so relevant and timely! Really enjoyed this one! Especially enjoyed the technical (both AI and military) accuracy that never got in the way of a fast moving, fun story."
