Win a Signed Copy of The Apex Code: UK Giveaway

The Apex Code book cover

The Apex Code launched in December 2025 to multiple 5-star rated reviews. To celebrate, and to say thank you to my fantastic readers and supporters from the UK, I’m giving away 5 free signed copies. Anyone can enter, and even if you have already purchased a copy (thank you again!) why not enter anyway, and if you are one of our lucky winners, you can dedicate your free copy to a friend as an awesome gift!

How to Enter

There are two free ways to enter. Both count equally; use whichever is easier for you.

  • Subscribe to the newsletter at chrischiaauthor.com.
  • Email through the contact form on this site and ask to be entered.

One entry per person, regardless of which route you use. Open to UK residents aged 18 or over. No purchase necessary, and a purchase will not improve your odds. You will not be asked for a mailing address unless you win, so entering is quick and low friction. And if you are already a subscriber, just jump right in and use the email contact form route and I’ll make sure you are in the draw.

Key Dates

  • Entries open: Monday, August 24, 2026
  • Entries close: Sunday, September 27, 2026
  • Winners drawn and announced: Monday, September 28, 2026

Winners are selected using random.org’s List Randomizer, a free and independently reproducible tool. Winners are contacted by email and asked to confirm a UK mailing address and dedication details for their signed copy.

Official Giveaway Rules (United Kingdom)

This is a free prize draw. No payment or purchase is required to enter, and it is not regulated by the Gambling Commission, since entry does not involve any form of payment as defined under the Gambling Act 2005.

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."
