The Self-Destructing Book

A New York creative team has equipped the author’s latest page-turner with a dangerous finale. Action fans can now sample a bit of real-life danger while enjoying the fantasy of a James Patterson novel. For a very (very) limited time, readers can race against a ticking clock, and either finish the story or accept the explosive consequences.


For a cool, and very specific ,$294,038, reps said, one lucky Patterson devotee “will be able to purchase the book along with a private trip to an undisclosed luxury location, a 5 course dinner with Patterson, and a SWAT team for book handling.” Contact and purchase details for the all-inclusive package haven’t been made widely available, but readers can currently jockey for one of 1,000 advance digital copies available at a time, each of which will self-destruct in 24 hours before materializing a new for another fan.
