Want one of the last few?

Your challenge is this: give me a creative reason why I should mail you one of my last few ARCs of Midnight Never Come.

And I do mean creative. None of this "'cause I really want to read it" stuff; tell me how, if you have an ARC, you will leverage it for Total World Domination. Or how your kitten is being driven mad by alien implants in her brain and only this book can save her. Bonus points for plausible logic, even if it's entirely nonsensical in its premises.

(I'm looking forward to these answers.)

One or more of those who amuse me the most will get an ARC mailed to them next week. You have until Friday to post your answers here, or e-mail them to marie dot brennan at gmail dot com.

Ink and paper and binding glue are a combination of different chemicals in certain proportions. Even with standardized printing presses and binding machines, on a chemical and molecular level, no two books--even from the same press run--are ever precisely alike.

Years of calculations, experimentation, and theory has shown me that the proposed ratio of ink and paper and glue polymers, when mixed together and rendered with certain reagents in just the proper proportions over the right amount of time, will yield a compound that will cure cancer. My calculations show that the book that has that proper ratio is the ARC of Midnight Never Come.

So, if you send that book to me, I will analyze its chemical composition, duplicate it in the lab, and cure cancer.

I'll name the cure after you. Together, we'll win the Nobel Prize. :)
