I normally only have time for audiobooks, but I would make time for this.
Books, books, and more books!
As a long time Star Trek fan, and a collector of Scalzi’s books I’d love to win an ARC of Redshirts. The would fit nicely onto my bookcase next to his other books.
Am I first? I want to win!!
Comment
A chance to win this is not a bad thing, not at all. I read the sample chapters up at Tor.com and I was very favorably impressed.
I am commenting. I would love a copy of Redshirts! And Free is Awesome!
I’d be thrilled to win!
Would love to read this.
Please, please, please! Pick me!
Free is my favorite price, although Scalzi books are worth many times as much.
Would love to get an ARC of the next Scalzi book!
You teased me with the first 4 chapters & then make me wait until JUNE?! That is cruel!
Yes! I’d love to win a copy of Redshirts!
Pick Me!!!! I love Scalzi’s work!
I have been eagerly awaiting this book since Scalzi announced it.
This looks good!
Looking forward to Redshirts!
You know you want to give me this book. Right?
I’m really looking forward to this book!
Hope I win, thanks for the contest!
Three in nineteen chances – much better than the lottery. If only I believed they would stay that way…
A scalzi ARC you say? I do so love to collect ARC’s and would surely send minions into the jaws of certain death to obtain one!
Definitely looking forward to reading Redshirts!
Yes, please.
One of our good customers came in just yesterday asking for this! He pre-ordered it, but would love to have an early copy! It’s another way indie bookstores instill loyalty and love in their patrons–great customer service, and the opportunity to read and spread the word about a book ahead of time.
Win it to be it.
I’m a stay at home dad with 5 kids… I think I AM a “redshirt!” Thus I certainly deserve a copy!
Thanks!
Looks like a good book
“to boldly go…” the most famous split infinitive in the English language. Yes I would love a copy of Red shirts.
Pick me, pick me !
I so want a copy of this. Can’t wait for it to come out.
Sounds great.
Haven’t read any Scalzi, but I heard good things. I want a copy!
Luck be a lady tonight… luck, if you’ve ever been a lady to begin with, luck be a lady tonight… (rolls the random number generator).
I’m so looking forward to the Redshirts release! I hope I’m one of the three!
I was already a fan of Scalzi when I read the preview–but it changed me from a “Buy this when I feel like it” to “I MUST HAVE THIS ON DAY ONE!”
Me, me, me.
This would be nice!
I am distinctly interested in reading this. In fact, the teaser chapters released on tor.com were what took this from a “maybe” to a “definite.” So … well done.
I’m feeling lucky!
Great contest!
I would be happy to take one off your hands..thank you very much!
Pick me!
Why Red?
My comment is: please pick me!
AVOID THE NARRATIVE!!!
Another great giveaway. Thanks, Tor.
This! This book! I must read it! And share the love!
I’ve heard so much about this, please pick me!

I’ve been looking forward to this since its announcement. It would be awesome to have an ARC.

Sounds great! I want this book.
Potato chips are crunchy.
I’m so excited for Redshirts!
Free is better than good, its great! A “Free Scalzi” logo needs to be put on the front of a t-shirt.
Consider me interested in a copy.
I’m commenting!
He’s dead Jim….
Enter.
Yow! Free books!
Read the first few chapters on International Pixel-Stained TechnoPeasant Day ( I feel certain I’m missing a word there, but I can’t remember what), and I am definitely excited to read the rest of this.
I’ll be buying the e-book anyway, but a free and rare hard copy would really serve my interests.
Very much looking forward to Redshirts!
I would like one.

This Not Terribly Insightful comment is brought to you by the letter R and the number 37.
It’s a question. It’s a comment. It’s a question it’s a comment it’s a Quemment.
I heard John Scalzi read an excerpt of this at Boskone this February, and I already know it’s brilliant. Waiting till June for the rest will be brutal–unless I can grab an advance copy, that is!!!

(Gah, does that sound cheesy to anyone else?)
Redshirts get it done.

You owe me, because I’ve purchased and given away several copies of Old Man’s War!
Commenting. The book, I wants it.
Thanks in advance!
I have a red shirt, but for the sake of self-preservation I rarely wear it out in public. I’m hoping that reading Redshirts will give me the courage to don my red shirt proudly and without fear.
So: what’s the book about???
Sounds interesting… Count me in
Oooh! Oooh! Oooh! Pick me! (My favorite Redshirt of all time: Ro Laren from ST:TNG…)
Yay!
I too wish to receive one of these ARCs. I have a large number of paired animals which I would like to store in it for the upcoming apocalypse.
Red is my favorite color.

I can wait another month, but I’d really like it for my 9-hour plane trip.
Yo. Hand up here.
I plan to read this book, hopefully sooner than later.
Redshirts! Scalzi finally rises to the defense of the victims of the most abused trope in Science fiction. Also known as the “If it kicks Worf’s a$$, it must be tough” syndrome.

This book would make me happy.
I don’t always read science fiction books,
but when I do they’re usually Star Trek-related.
I want one.
Thank you for this opportunity.
Scalzi books are good, free books are grand,
Together, they’re pretty nice.
Sorry, couldn’t come up with a better rhyme before kids got out of school…
Pretty please.
Over here! Please!
Awesome. Love Scalzi’s stuff!
Red is my favorite color and three is my favorite number!
(Not really, but I’d be willing to change if I won)
Lokks like great fun!
There once was an author named Scalzi
Not to be confused with Admiral Halsey
He had a contest, tee hee
To give some books away for free
I, for one, find that quite ballsy
I’d certainly love a copy of the ARC. Here’s hoping!
Comment! Can’t wait to read this.
Hmm…freebies!
Yes, please.
Ship it!
Crossing my fingers, like everyone else.
I’ve literally bought and red all but two of your novels (I’ll get those soon). I need more!

Here’s hoping I win.
Here’s to giveaways! And Scalzi, and Tor, of course.
Entered.
I would Like to be a part of this fine competition.
This is a random drawing, so it doesn’t matter that my comment is not brilliant. Good thing.
Hey, Redshirts! Always fun to throw my hat into the ring for a copy of one of Scalzi’s finest.
Pick me, I loves the Scalzi.
Free book? By John Scalzi? I’m in for a chance at that!
I’m in!

Can’t wait to read Redshirts. Even if I have to go buy it.
I read the first chapters and if I don’t win I may have to buy the rest
Free books are graciously accepted.
I can’t wait for this book to come out. John Scalzi is one of the few authors whos books I buy the day the come out.
This is a comment; this is only a comment. Had this been an actual conversation, I would have said something considerably less insightful.
I would love to win this! Of course, I am one of many wishing to win
Winning stuff is cool.
Would love to see this on my bookshelf. Thanks.
Ooh, I really want a copy of this! And yes, even if I win, I’m probably buying at least one copy as a gift.

The first four chapters had me laughing out loud and I would love to win an ARC!
Oooh oooh! Mr. Kotter!
Yes, please!
I eagerly look forward to reading this book!
57 years ago I won something, been 0 for 57 years since then, I figure I’m due!
“PICK ME MONTY – I CAME DRESSED AS A TURNIP”
Thak you!
Redshirts, ho!
Yes, please.
I like these odds. I also like John Scalzi. Bonus.
And here I am.
I’m seeing red(shirts).
Comment below? Comment above? Comment somewhere!
Color me red.
Sweet, thanks for the contest.
Yes!
Yes please
This sounds cool!
Deal me in.
Gimmie!
Looking forward to reading Redshirts SOOOOOOO much! (And crossing my fingers I win it first… LOL)
A Redshirts ARC? Yes please!
Oooh, ooh, pick me, pick me!
There was a time I would buy & read (i.e., lose a weekend reading instantly) anything by Tom Clancy – now the same can be said for anything by John Scalzi!
I Volunteer
Oh, yes, please. This is relevant to my interests.
Would love to win this!
Love it! Count me in!
I’d gladly volunteer for an ARC of Redshirts (even if there was a good chance I wouldn’t survive the mission.)
I would read this aloud, to my cats and probably to my fiance. I wouldn’t wear a red shirt since I think the cats wouldn’t appreciate and my fiance would likely take that as permission to hit me in the head with a wrench.
I’m wearing a blue shirt today. Does that disqualify me? ’cause I can go change if I have to.
I want ARC sooooooo much!
comment
Yes, please. This is appropriate beyond words.
Please!
Book, please? Thank you
Hoping for a book to go with my own memorial redshirt.
Most anticipated summer release including movies. Have already preordered it at my local bookstore, and am saving my audible credit for my post initial read listen.
gimme, gimme, gimme. I, I, me, me, Mine! We’re going to need more crew. please.

I’d really like a copy to give to my best friend for his birthday
If I win this book I will change my life, be an example to those around me, and swear an oath of fealty to whoever it is I need to suck up to for a chance at getting a free copy of a book I would probably buy anyway. I pre-ordered Fuzzy Nation, which at the time I thought was a book about ZZ Top.
Thank you. I can’t wait to get my hands on this book and read it.
I’m interested in reading this book. Should be fun.
Of COURSE I want to read your book! I’ve really enjoyed all of them and I’m not a die-hard SF fan.

Love it.
Dur, of course I’d love to read this book! I really don’t want to wait.

Big Scalzi fan. Would love to win a copy.
The 4 free promo chapters were awesome, and go beyond mere parody into something more… disturbing.
Oh, yes please!
Ooh, ooh, ooh.
Yes I would like a copy please!
I would love to read this ahead of time.
yes please
I neeeeeeed it.
I never know what to say in these “comment to enter” things.
Please enter me in the drawing.
I’m going to actually have time to read for pleasure again soon (woo, graduation!) so having one of these would be awesome.
Please enter me in the drawing as well.
My name is officially in the hat.
New Scalzi novel? ARC? Gimme.
a very good number, indeed
I’d love a chance at this. Thanks for the contest.
me me me
I’d also love a copy. *fingers crossed*
I’m here to comment and hopefully win!
Can’t wait for this book to hit! And for Scalzi to come to Pasadena!
Puttin’ my name in the bag.
Would it be possible to win the ebook ARC? Trying (for allergy reasons) to cut down on Actual Physical Books in the haus. (OTH, if I did win, I suppose I could pass it on to a friend later when the ebook version becomes available.)
I’m in.
Fingers crossed.
Commenting for a chance to win a free book!
Eeeeenie meeeenie chili beeeenie…
the spirits are about to…
pick me pick me pick me…
yes?
I’d love to take one of these off your hands…
Scalzi’s the best!
It MUST be mine!
My dying wish is to win a book about guys doing their best to avoid dying!
I haven’t had the pleasure of reading one of Scalzi’s novels, but I’d really like to.
I never win these, but I’ll try anyway.
Pick me please!
Yes, please – I promise to buy the audio book read by Wil Wheaton, too.
Hi. I would like to win. Thank you kindly.
I’d like this.
Been a fan since Old Man’s War, and looking forward to more great Scalzi SF!
I’ve read the free Kindle chapters but would really like to read the rest! Thanks!
I like these odds!
Trying again…can’t wait to read this book!
We talk about the concept of this book in our Star Trek game.
I’ve yet to read anything bad by Scalzi.
I’ve gone through all of John’s work and I’m really looking forward to Redshirts.
Fingers crossed.
Squee!
This book sounds pretty awesome.
I got nuthin’ to say, but I want the book.
Only Scalzi could call a novel ‘Redshirts’ and get away with it.
I’m a recent Scalzi hookee. Just finished “Old Man’s War” and, 5 minutes ago, “Ghost Brigades”. Ready to move on to “Last Colony”. I’m on a Scalzi binge and I need to continue
Me, please!
I wouldn’t mind getting a copy.
Me, too!
Redshirts. Yeah!
This is the winning comment you’re looking for!
Please award the book to me.
Uh, it’s called Redshirts, of course I want to win! (I won’t, but, hey, I’m just unlucky). But, to win you have to try right?
*Required comment*
So want to read this.
I had a dream where McCoy was wearing a yellow shirt and Kirk was Red. weird!?
Oh pretty, pretty please!!
Let it be known that on this day, May the 7th, 2012, I am entering my name into this drawing for a chance to procure a copy of the new novel by John Scalzi. It’s been a long road to get here. I’d like to thank my family for their loving support, my friends for encouraging me, and of course my school teachers for educating me in the ways of writing and reading so that it might all culminate to this one moment. I await the results of this contest in my headquarters surrounded by dozens of my closest friends and family. Win or lose, I just want to say that it has been a fine race and I respect all of the other candidates. Whoever you choose, I’m sure they will treat the victory with dignity, grace, and respect. I thank you for your time.
Me please…
I would love to have a copy of this book.
Would love a copy
One to beam aboard, please.
::does the magic comment dance::
Mr. Scalzi, I love your books, and patience is a virtue I should probably work on
Hey! Don’t open that! It’s an alien planet! Is there air? You don’t know!
42!
How about those of us who left comments before 7 May?
Need to complete my Scalzi collection…..
If it is as good as old man’s war, it should be a fun ride!
I read the preview and I LOVE IT!
Keeping my fingers crossed, this is one contest I’d really love to win!
Yes! Me wants!
I keep entering these, and yet, no book!
My entry comment.
I believe I can win!
It should would be nice to win the latest John Scalzi book!
What are the odds?
I am broke and my library sucks… I need this!
giving it a try
Me! Me! Pick me!!!
When it takes a minute to scroll to the bottom, the odds, they are long. PICK ME!

He’s dead, Jim ……or he will be if he doesn’t get a copy of Redshirts, fast!
I am really looking forward to reading Redshirts!
Would love to read this!
I hope I win!
Deeply want.
Looking forward to the book
I cannot wait to read this book!
Squeeeeee! Me please.
I read the 4-chapter “preview”; this book looks fantastic!
I can totally leave a comment to have a chance at fresh Scalzi.
I’d like one!
I would totally love to have this!
Wish Scalzi was going to Mysterious Galaxy Bookstore in San Diego for the tour.
If I win, I’ll buy a copy of the book for my brother. Probably will anyway.
I deserve this book.
The book, I wants it.
Yes, please. I would like to win at least one copy.
My chances just went up. Everyone else’s chances went down.
Even if I win an ARC, I promise that I’ll still buy a copy of the hardcover when it comes out.
Fingers crossed!
Pretty please?
Better odds–and a better prize–than most lotteries.
Oh please please please
I wanna win!
Thanks for the contest!
Oh, I want this book soooo badly. Please?
This is going to be a great book – I senses it! muuuwhahah
Yes, please.
Thanks for the giveaway!
I will leave this comment here to comment.
Me, me!
How can this be a duplicate comment if I haven’t posted yet? Stupid wordpress.
Am stoked for this release, would love to have it!
Gimme!.. Uh, please?
Hat in the ring, and caution to the wind
I needs me some Redshirts!
Sign me up.
I am interested!
So, being a red shirt and you may survive. I am looking forward to this.
Oh ho! A sweepstakes! Count me on, please.
I would very much like to have a copy of this book. I’m sure it’s going to be a classic.
I am a librarian in Raleigh, NC, and have written about several of Mr. Scalzi’s book for our Book-a-Day blog. I would be thrilled to get an advance reader’s copy to be able to read, review & promote before the book comes out. Please, oh please pick me!
I have first editions of all of Mr. Scalzi’s books,Chapbooks included,and even Agent To The Stars,which I am most proud of ! I would dearly love to have a copy of Redshirts to complete my Scalzi library. It would feel right at home !!!!!!
Yes please.
I’d like to enter, please.
Me! Me! I’d like one, please!
I’d like to enter.
Oh sweet jeebus I want this!
First chapter is a hoot. Love the spoof of modern day pop series. Forward the universal union.
I would love a copy! It would match so nicely with all my other Scalzi stuff.
I’m so excited, I’m going to wear a red shirt tomorrow…and eat some pancakes.
Heard Scalzi read the first chapter. Must read the whole thing!
Whee ARC!
Note to self: Don’t try to get to the end of Scalzi’s comment line while using an iPad. Will get “scroller’s elbow.” Please to sign me up for the increasingly dubious odds of winning a free Scalzi book.
Comment! Comment? But I don’t know what to say! except…Please?
I already read the first three chapters, so I’d be happy to get to read the rest a bit early.
Scalzi? Never heard of him, any good?
Oh wow. I would love, love, love a free copy of Redshirts.
Yes, please.
Why not?
This book sounds amazing, I would love a to have a copy!
pre-ordered the book. looking forward to reading it!
Would love a copy!
Please.
New John Scalzi? Yes please!
ARC – TOR – RED. All just three letters long!
I’m expendable.
Yes, Please!
Awesome…
Cool, I always love picking up the latest from Scalzi. Thanks for the opportunity, folks!
can’t wait to win!
I would love to win a copy of Redshirts!
Yes, please!
Hoping. I like to think of myself as an optimist/
I would like a copy to complement my Kindle copy!
Want this so much it almost hurts
A freebie shot at the new “Redshirts”
“Agent to the Stars”,”Old Man’s war”
No one wrote like this before!! (As Heinlein rolls in his grave)
Scalzi rules with his pithy reads
My need for smiles he surely feeds!
OK, so my thirty second shot at poetic humor may be closer to “There once was a girl from—” than Elizabeth Barrett Browning – or even Dr. Seuss, of even Miss Piggy for that matter, but I WOULD like the free book.
Thanks.
I’m keeping my fingers crossed… except when typing as that would be difficult!
Love Scalzi’s work. I’ll be picking this up regardless of winning, but it can’t hurt to try.
Nice
Yay!
Can’t wait to read it!
I’d love to win this! Scalzi rocks!
Looking forward to reading the book.
Does this include a Kindle version? I always try to get both hardcopy and kindle versions.
Would love one!
Ooh! Pick me!
Scalzi!!
Me.
I’ve been looking forward to this book, thanks for the chance to win!
I am eagerly awaiting this book.
As a faithful reader of John’s blog, It’s time for me to read one of his books!
Looks like a good book.
I think I need to win this one.
Cool concept! Even if I don’t win, I will read it as soon as I can!
Would love this book. Would like to thank Tor for going DRM-free.
Looking forward to the release of this one. Should be a very good read.
Seven hundred and ninth!
The preview chapters were classic, fantastic Scalzi. I’m looking forward to reading the rest of the book!
I read the four-chapter excerpt, and this looks like it’s going to be excellent. Particularly if you’re a Star Trek fan and one who likes very clever parodies.
Fingers crossed!
Dear Tor-ettes.
I was horrified to realize that Redshirts will be coming out DURING my upcoming vacation to the Galapagos. I mistakenly thought I could get it and read on a volcanic shore of rocky outcroppings and laugh myself silly. (Rocky Outcroppings is the name of my next Jonathan Coulton tribute band) Any way you could see sending me a copy to take with? I will gladly bring you a nice tourist tchachki.
Love and Kisses, Aunti Laura. PS< leaving the 23rd of May.
Pick me, pick me! Please?
This looks really good!
I have entered a contest for a free Redshirt book like 42 times. I will lose this one as well.
Yes, please.
yes, me!
I have been waiting for this book to come out–it looks so awesome and funny! Scalzi has a great way with amusing & witty dialogue.
I would love a copy of Redshirts!
Thanks for the chance!
The only thing better than a Scalzi book is a free Scalzi book
My entry.
I am looking forward to reading Redshirts.
My daughter and I have both read the preview chapters, would love to be able to read the rest sooner rather than later!
I really want to take a copy of this book to Origins so Wil Wheaton can sign it!! (Then of course I’ll be in Dayton in June to have John sign it too).
Read the preview, loved it.
Yes! Preview chapters were great! So says my dog! Physical books are wonderful! We found a string in the meadow! Redshirts! No stars in my house!
*entering*
Books! Yay!
Surprise me.
Scalzi is to science fiction what chocolate frosting is to Twinkies. Required, that’s what.
Want literature.
Pick me! Pick me! Pick me!
I’d love to, but I doubt I’ll win. I never win these things.
Been a fan of Scalzi since Agent to the Stars hit the web. Looking forward to reading this one too.
I love Scalzi’s books, super excited for Redshirts, the only thing more exciting would be winning a copy!
I’d love to have this to go along with my Redshirts T-shirt!
I would read it happily….
Me Me Me!!!
I can’t wait for the release of Redshirts!
I want this book. This is a story for people in the background. I happen to be a security guard. I suspect that if FTL flight actually existed, then I would be issued a red shirt.
Scalzi is da best!
I’d really rather have an ebook, even though Scalzi wouldn’t be able to sign it.
I definitely need to add this to my Scalzi collection.
Want!
Yes please!
Cool.
Hello! Yes! I’d love an ARC of Redshirts! Thank you!
I have converted to e-books primarily, but not for Scalzi! (And a few others.)
Very interesting sounding book. My wife and I watch a lot of Star Trek and make a lot of references regarding the red shirts.
I would love to win an ARC
Winning an ARC certainly beats wearing red on the away mission.
I love John Scalzi’s books (introduced to me by an independent bookseller) & am looking forward to this new one!
I would love a copy of the DRM free version! I would also love a regular copy too.
Thanks for considering me.
Winning would be welcomed.
I cannot wait to read this and getting a free copy would be fantastic. Good luck to everyone who has entered!
While I wait to see if I’ve won a copy, I must go stand on a cliff’s edge, prominently outlined against the horizon while I look around me. That way I’ll fall oh so cinematically when the bad guys zap me.
More Scalzi please.
pbook or ebook?
Gsnyder, all of our contests are for physical books – so far, anyway! We’ll be sure to note if we ever do an ebook giveaway.
ARCa are awesome. Cant wait for this.
Ah yes. Scrolling all the way down to the bottom gives me a good idea of the odds. I still hope (expect?) to win.
Yes, I wanna be a Redshirt.
Me, me!
Red Shirt reporting for duty Captain!
Book me, please.
Yo!
Hope?
Commenting and hoping for a win!
I want to win this so that I can take it to get signed this summer.
A great author … I always love his stuff.
Would love to win!
Looks like an amazing, enjoyable read!
cant wait to read this one!!
Would love to win
Redshirts sounds like it’s going to be fantastically fun!
Pick me, pick me! Scalzi’s one of my favorites.
I am certainly not expendable, but I’ve never read Scalzi, so why not pick me?
Would ADORE an ARC of Redshirts. And it would make all my friends so jealous!
I’d love to win this!
I would be thrilled to win this book
I think it would be cool if I got a free book!
I must win this book!
Love Scalzi
Sounds like a really intreging book. I would definitely love a copy!
**Hem hem** This book embodies my soul. If it falls into another’s hands, I shudder to think what may happen.
I thought I had already entered, but don’t see my comment here – so I’m taking the chance to enter “again” (I hope I don’t disqualify myself – I’d really love to read this and can’t afford new books just now!)
I’ve never read a book by John Scalzi, make this my first!
Woot!
Pretty please with sugar on top? I’ve been a redshirt most of my life, or so it seems to me.
Me please! I would love this book!
John Scalzi, my FAVORITE author!! I will read anything he does at least a dozen times! Wonderful writer.
Read the first 4 chapters on my Nook and found it really fascinating. I have more questions than answers and it will be a usual Scalzi brain-twister as he develops his premise.
I also thought I had already entered, but I don’t see a comment either.
Sign us up – my son has been pestering me about Redshirts!
Holy squeak! Found out about this with just 35 minutes to spare! Hope this counts!
No!!! Too late! But I’m still looking forward to the book.
Heck yes, sign me up!
