Solve the ORDERS IS ORDERS Cryptogram
and win an ePulp!
(an ePulp is an iPod which is pre-loaded with all 80 Stories from the Golden Age audiobooks)

Anybody can enter the contest once and the only criteria to get entered is to crack the cryptogram below and filling out the form with the correct answers. The entry deadline is 15 May 2009.

Marine Gunnery Sergeant James Mitchell and Private First Class Spivits are sent on a treacherous mission behind enemy lines to reach the American consulate in the Chinese city of Shunkien—which is under heavy assault by invading Japanese forces.

Mitchell and Spivits have been given an encoded message for you to decipher—the item named in the message is what they need to get to the consulate and it is a life and death matter! To untangle the code, you need to write down the letters in large block letters, then underneath this, write down the same sequence of letters in reverse starting from the end of the line. The last step is to replace each letter with the letter that appears two spaces to the left of that letter in the alphabet. Decipher correctly the missing letters in the words below and submit your answer by clicking on the link below and you’ll get a special prize for cracking the code and get entered into our contest to win a FREE ePulp (all 80 audiobooks pre-loaded on an iPod player)!

WINNER OF THE ePULP CONTEST ANNOUNCED!

Thank you all very much for entering the contest to win the ePulp.

The winner of the ePulp (a full loaded iPod with all 80 Stories from the Golden Age audiobooks) is:

John E. Petty, from Texas!

When John was informed of being the lucky winner, he sent us the following note:

"That's great news! I can't tell you how excited I am!

"I'm a freelance writer living in Lewisville, Texas with my wife and
our four-legged menagerie. Currently, I'm finishing a book on old-time movie serials, and beginning another one on classic monster movies. I've been reading pulp stories for years, and am thrilled to have discovered this new series reprinting the work of pulp-master L. Ron Hubbard.

"Like the best of the pulp authors, Hubbard's texts are exciting, fast-paced and imaginative, instantly transporting the reader to another time and/or place, and always imparting a sense of
adventure and intrigue. No matter what the genre—from Western to science fiction to adventures on the high seas and more—Hubbard's stories are masterworks of the genre, comparable to such distinguished contemporaries as Robert Howard, Lester Dent, Walter Gibson, and Raymond Chandler. Each book is a delight, and I look forward to immersing myself even further in Hubbard's stories through these outstanding audio adventures.

"Thanks again for the great news. I'm really excited to receive the iPod, and can't wait to sit back and listen to the stories!"

Congratulations, John!
