OBSIDIO Casualty List Contest
THIS CONTEST IS OPEN INTERNATIONALLY.
Droogs!
The time has come! The title is here! The hour of your death is nigh!
As ILLUMINAE FILES fans will know, we ran a competition last year, giving readers the opportunity to get their names listed among the dead in GEMINA. Well, we’re doing it again with OBSIDIO! Hurrah for murder! What in god’s name is wrong with you people?
In fact, we’re running the biggest deathlist competition the series has ever seen! So now you, your family members, your pets (I’m joking, we’re not killing your pets) have the opportunity to be horribly slaughtered in final book of the series.
So, if you would like the chance to suffer a particularly painful death in the cold belly of space, read on.
REPEAT: THIS CONTEST IS OPEN TO EVERYONE. BRITONS. AUSTRALIANS. AMERICANS. MARTIANS. WE GIVE NO TOSSES ABOUT WHERE YOU ARE FROM.
Things you must do to win this contest:
- Pre-order a copy of OBSIDIO. It does not matter where you do this. Online. Local bookstore. Seedy back alley. Yes, we’re aware some sites don’t have pre-order buttons up yet, just be patient. 🙂

Readings - Send proof of purchase (scan, photograph) to: theilluminaefiles@gmail.com.The next step is VERY IMPORTANT
- Along with your proof of purchase you must provide:
a) Your name. Not a twitter handle. Not a cute nickname. Not a forum avi.
First name.
Surname.
Done.
b) You must also include the following declaration within the body of your email:
My name is [insert your name here]. I confirm I am freely agreeing to the use of my name in the series The Illuminae Files. This permission is for all rights and uses, in perpetuity, and I agree I will receive no compensation for the use of my name. I agree the authors and publishers are not obligated to make any corrections or changes to my name in reprints.
The really, really important bit:
YOU MUST DO THIS BY NOON, PACIFIC STANDARD TIME, MAY 1, 2017.
That gives you three weeks to save up, rob a liquor store or concoct a complicated confidence scheme in order to get the cash for the pre-order.
We’re kidding. Don’t rob anyone. Ask for it as a birthday present or something, I dunno.
HOT DAMN, CHUMS, IT’S THE BONUS ROUND

I have NEVER preordered something so quickly in MY ENTIRE LIFE! Kill me! ??
Pre-ordered Obsidian as soon as I could!:) As well as entered contest. Can’t wait for Obsidio, I am also planning to pre-order audio book on Audible as soon as it is available!! ???? I am in love with this book series.
How do you know if someone spread the word about this contest for them to be entered into the bonus round?
By tracking use of the #obsidio hashtag 🙂
That’s why it’s important you use the hash!
Thank you 🙂
I hope Amazon gets their hardcover pre-order up soon! I have been waiting since the first day this contest has been mentioned. 😀
I will be preordering (of course I will, in both hardback and audibook!!) but I will not be entering the competition given how I was already killed (in very good company) in Gemina!
That’s awesome! I hope I get to be one of the chosen ones to be killed! I think it would be the coolest thing ever!
I want those audiobooks so bad! Audiobooks are my favorite thing ^^
