The Ongoing Hidden-In-Plain-Sight Ranch Codebreaker Contest!
We're running an ongoing contest at the Hidden-In-Plain-Sight Ranch's tumblr feed, with free e-books as the stakes!
Here's the deal: Since the Ranch allowed a fifth poster (Teresa Iles) to begin making entries, she's been receiving anonymous e-mails containing very long coded messages. Nobody at the Ranch knows anything about cryptography, so they need the help of visitors to decode the messages.
The only clue: one post tag in each message is the code key for the message in that post.
Most of the posts allow responses by readers. On one of these posts, submit a summary of what the message contains. For each successfully decoded message, the poster will receive a free e-book of one of the Phantom Squadron books. Should one visitor decode five messages successfully, they will be entitled not only to a full set of signed Phantom Squadron paperbacks, they'll also get dibs on an e-book or paperback (choose one only) of the final book, Eden Inviolate, in 2014.
Good Luck!
