The game that is not a game is afoot...

The Random House website is a relatively interesting game that leads to a couple of the websites that we've seen already, namely www.hollismartialarts.com and www.resurrectionautoparts.com.

I hope there's more to it than this, because I finished the thing in about 40 minutes and it didn't exactly tax my brain. Play through it if you've got the time...but like Lund said, there's way too much hand-holding.

This is so...confusing. The grid? John Twelve Hawks? I must say,
gabechouinard, that I'm intrigued by all of the ideas and concepts you've brought to this board, but I'm confused by any of the connections that all of this might have to John Twelve Hawks. He's real but not real, whatever. I'm just asking for some clarification.

Gabe, I want to talk. Is that a phone number I saw in your blog? If you're worried about soft talk, you need only describe how I should contact you. I can use an IP relay service...somehow I don't think you would like me calling you on my cell phone.

There is a new post on the www.hollismartialarts.com weblog. As much has gone into publicising this book I expect there to be more today since this is supposed to be the official release date.

I've been reading Twelve Hawks' book, and the game is probably the best part of it. If Gabe liked it... then he needs to get out and read more. Because it's pretty bad. You're better off reading fan fiction.

And a lot of things don't make sense. Not just in the novel, but with this whole "off the grid" thing. Like, if he wants to stay off the grid, why did he publish with a mainstream publishing house? And get a movie option? So it strikes me that the off the grid thing is a marketing ploy, which is fine, I guess. It's just kind of stupid.
