The World of Trouble Pre-order Campaign: Get Signed Bookplates, Limited Edition Prints, & More!
Next month World of Trouble, the final book in Ben H. Winters’ award winning Last Policeman trilogy, hits stores everywhere. We’ve all grown quite attached to Hank Palace here at the Quirk Books HQ, and while we’re all sad to see him go, we’re definitely sending him out with… well, do excuse the asteroid crash pun… out with a bang.
In addition to a fun blog tour (we’ll announce all the stops for that soon!), we’re launching a pre-order campaign for World of Trouble. Pre-order your copy, email us a photo of your receipt, and you’ll get all kinds of special VIP extras. You’ll also be entered into a giveaway to win an awesome H.P.S.K. (Hank Palace Survival Kit).
Read on to learn more about the special tiers you can unlock during the pre-order campaign. Not to be confused with tears, which we’re busy crying now that the trilogy is ending.

MAYA: THE E.L.E. ASTEROID
Danger Level: Five, Status: Locked! [Need 100 Tweets!], Five Available
The #WorldOfTrouble campaign continues! Once we hit 100 social interactions, we’ll unlock this awesome, final tier. We've got pictures coming soon, but five lucky pre-order-ers will win an amazing Hank Palace Survival Kit, which comes with:
- Ruled notebook with pencils. He has a number of these from his old mentor.
- Custom painted Nerf SIG Sauer P229 by Philly's Nitemardchild Design! Based (very loosely) on the gun Hank carries.
- A bag of coffee. Because that’s all Hank really wanted in Countdown City.
- A manual pencil sharpener. No spoilers, but it’s important in World of Trouble.
- Steel coffee thermos. With a sharpie so you can write your name on it.
The five winners will be chosen on July 15th, and notified via Twitter.
