Here at Penguin everyone has been gripped with By Royal Command fever, following the launch of a certain Young Bond's latest adventure.

If this wasn't exciting enough, every book contains a special code which is part of a mission in the Young Bond alternate reality game, called The Shadow War.  In the game, you get to become either a British SIS agent or a Russian OGPU spy and every Wednesday for 7 weeks we are releasing a brand new mission for the two sides.  You can join at any point so head over to youngbondshadowwar.com to sign up and get your first mission briefing.

For part of the mission, you need the code that's printed in the actual book but somewhere out there just 20 special copies of By Royal Command have a different code inside them and we are just holding our breath to find out if anyone out there can find one of them.  Could it be you?  And if it is you, you could help your side to win The Shadow War . . .
