For those of us not lucky enough to obtain the signed copies of Brandon's books he leaves in airports, what is the surprise he puts in one of them?
He just Tweeted that he's placed a surprise in a Warbreaker paperback in an airport, and I believe it's at least the second time he's done so (though the first time was in a hardcover The Gathering Storm).
Any answers?
-
I imagine he signed it. ;)
-
I know back on TGS tour it was usually things like bumper stickers.

According to his Twitter he signed all they had and place a surprise in one. I just want to know what the surprise is.

Do you think he'd place a bumper sticker or something like it in the Warbreaker paperback?
-
maybe he left the name of the person who killed Asmodean.
-
Or who killed Andonalsium. ;)
-
It's a decoder ring.
Drink More Ovaltine!
-
I've been wondering the same thing! I believe his post was on the 5th so maybe if you can scroll to it - on both of his pages we might find an answer!
Never mind :( I just checked and no one has mentioned a thing :(
-
Maybe it's a note with the last two metals on it, AND a decoder ring.
*Subliminal message received, going to mix Ovaltine now.
-
I imagine he's referring to the prologue for The Way of Kings. So glad I bought the paperback and the Hardcover.

No, he has a habit of leaving things inside the books taht are extra.

I could be wrong but i believe that the last two metals have been confirmed. Look at the table of metals on his website.
-
Last two metals, and their alloys. ;D

I found out last night that the surprise inside is very much worth it if you can get your hands on one...
-
Oh well that's just not fair. You should share with us your knowledge. After all that's what all of us world bringers do. >>'
-
Whaoh, how does one bocome a worldbringer? Don't you have to be an ancient Terris Holy Man? Oh, wait, I am one of those. With an army of Evil Squirrels.
BOW BEFORE THE WORLDBRINGER, SQUIRREL KING!
-
I would, but I'm not sure if I should destroy his surprise. After all, it's more fun if you really are surprised.
-
Wait, wouldn't being the squirrel king make you an Awakener. QUIT JUMPING WORLDS you world jumping looney.
-
No, I've been the Squirrel King for Years. Haven't figured out how to utilize awakened squirrels, though.
I recently acquired the use of a shard (RAFO -- that's the shard's name, btw) and have jumped to Warbreaker's world. I'm in the process of driving an Awakener insane (I have a crack team of covert squirrel operatives moving his furniture around in the middle of the night, following him everywhere he goes, clogging his sinks, chewing holes in his clothes, performing ballet, and screeching for no apparent reason). He shouldn't hold out long.
Once he thinks he's a squirrel, he's mine to control. Then he can make me an army of undead squirrels.
-
So, the question becomes this: Who wants to survive the squirrel-zombie apocalypse?
-
But what happens if we can't get our hands on the surprise? For instance, I live in Alabama. I don't think he'll EVER come here. No author does, really.
-
It's something that you can buy, so it's not something that only those lucky few who can get the book.
-
Still, it would really help if we just knew what to look for.

I'm sure if you sent a friendly PM to someone that did know explaining just that, they would be very likely to consider it safe and let you know.
But I'm not one of them, and I don't want to speak for them. Just a thought.

Wait wait Wait Wait Wait Wait.... wait... Is this surprise only in the books at that airport?

I would say yes purely on the evidence of his Twitter account. The only time we hear of surprises is when he tosses a tweet to the void saying he left something in a book store somewhere in a an airport in some city in the world. ;D
Yup.
-
Ah yes the joys of shameless merchandising ploys. Remember the book that was all about a treasure hunt only they buried gold bullion or a volkswagon or something at the place where the book clues pointed to? Perhaps some enterprising soul should plant a golden acorn with AWAKE engraved on it, and a duralumin chain.
-
I thought they were the WoT bumper stickers. Has he started giving away other stuff?
-
I used to think the same thing, but now I'm thinking it never was the WoT stickers.
*edit*
Well, actually, I'm betting those go in TGS he ninja signs, and his books get the other one.
