DW ARC Contest: Ninja Fight

Posted by Meg

What would you do for an advanced copy of The Daylight War? Joe is willing to fight off ninjas for the book. Check it out.

Awesome job with this action-packed video. A great showcase of Joe’s talents as a martial artist and beautifully filmed! Nice use of the new US cover art as well.

Check out what Joe had to say about his entry:

I have enjoyed your books immensely and really wanted to show that in the video I have submitted.I haven’t got a knack for writing or music and I’m actually kinda a slow reader. But I’ve got a knack for Parkour and martial arts and decided that would be the best way to produce an awesome video! I had a lot of fun shooting the video (and being shot at) and am pretty pleased with the end result. As to why I deserve to read The Daylight War, suffice it to say that I’m ready to fight armed ninjas and take an arrow in the back! In the video I actually leave The Desert Spear behind which is probably a lot worse than dying from an arrow shot in cold blood…

Enter your own video by tomorrow at midnight. Doesn’t have to be fancy. Just give Peat a reason why you should receive an ARC of The Daylight War.
