 		Hey everyone, a little off topic, but I figured this was the best place to put this.

I'm considering purchasing the book and seeing if I can't jump into this game midway, but don't really want to drop $15 on something that's gonna end in two weeks. I noticed that this thread has been around since last year, and I know the book came out a few months ago, so I just thought that I'd ask and see what the general consensus is. Of course, if the book is good enough to enjoy by itself, then I might get it anyway.

Thanks!

Hi everyone. I'm a noob to ARGs in general, having come into this one through JC Hutchins 7th Son podcast, but it's fun. Any advice would be appreciated.

I'm speculating a little about Henry, and thought I'd throw it out there since this hasn't been addressed yet:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
On page 175, he says "I loved your mother" and "Claire was my best friend." Several times, he calls Zach "son." There are also a number of passages, including a flashback, in which Zach describes Henry as a "father figure." Could Henry be Zachary's and Luke's father? He took the fall for Claire's murder, and Will stepped in and erased Henry from their life?


Very interesting thought! And perhaps, the Anti-Zach epoche has something to do with this...


I figure that the Taylor history will probably be developed more in subsequent books.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
I also thought there was an interesting parallel between the "missing son" of President Zachary Taylor at http://www.taylorfamilygenealogy.org/unknown.html and Henry in the novel. Not sure what it means, though.


Something else that seems too random to just be story, but I can't find a lead anywhere, and it's related to the Alexandrov stuff, so there may be something to it?

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Who is calling Drake's cell from Sophronia Poole's number? It happens twice in the novel. Has anyone found a phone number for either of them, or some way to retrieve messages from Drake's phone?


That's all I've got now. Like I mentioned last night, I'm very new to this, so I hope my questions are helpful, even if I'm not finding any answers.

I'd say, the book is worth of 15$! I mean, not only the story is cool, but also all the dark art stuff coming with the book is just awesome. You will touch and read these documens even after you're ready with the book (I'd make a little trailer with the book, you can check out how does the book looks like) </end>

@daniel.s

About Sophronia Poole... I have to look into the book again. Her Appointment Card doesn't have a phone number (very unusual for appointment cards btw.). Could we hack the another login to the http://brinkvalepsychiatric.com/login.php#nav (this one with

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
For Brinkvale Psychiatric, type in Zachary Taylor in the Username and Lucas for the password. You get Zack's files, most of which are in the book, but a few that aren't. As discussed earlier in the thread, much of it seems to be marketing material rather than ARG. You can also type in Nathan Xavier for the username and Corvette for the password. That gets you into Xavier's files. I didn't see anything in there of interest, but it would certainly be worthwhile for someone more experienced to check it out.

 		Cool. Thanks, kosmopol, I'll check that out once I get home from work. I'm thinking that once I get my paycheck, I may go ahead and order the book, if I can't find it in a bookstore around here.

Thank you!

Oh, SG-contents! Looks nice, perhaps there is more than just promotional stuff. I'll check out these documents.

@ironnikki

Do it! It's really very fine experience, not only to read the book, but also to touch all the documents there.
