Lockdown by Alexander Gordon Smith Giveaway!!!

I am very excited about what I have to offer one of my readers today. One of you will win a brand new paperback copy (with a new cover) of Lockdown by Alexander Gordon Smith. It is book one in the Escape From Furnace series and it's really great. It is a YA book but even people who don't normally read this genre will enjoy Lockdown (I know because I am one of those non-fans).

Part two of the series, Solitary, is being released on the American market today and in honor of the release, thanks to Macmillan publisher in cooperation with Ksenia W., I am giving away the copy of Lockdown so that one more person can get hooked on the series.

The Book's synopsis from GoodReads:

Furnace Penitentiary: the world’s most secure prison for young offenders, buried a mile beneath the earth’s surface. Convicted of a murder he didn’t commit, sentenced to life without parole, “new fish” Alex Sawyer knows he has two choices: find a way out, or resign himself to a death behind bars, in the darkness at the bottom of the world. Except in Furnace, death is the least of his worries. Soon Alex discovers that the prison is a place of pure evil, where inhuman creatures in gas masks stalk the corridors at night, where giants in black suits drag screaming inmates into the shadows, where deformed beasts can be heard howling from the blood-drenched tunnels below. And behind everything is the mysterious, all-powerful warden, a man as cruel and dangerous as the devil himself, whose unthinkable acts have consequences that stretch far beyond the walls of the prison. Together with a bunch of inmates—some innocent kids who have been framed, others cold-blooded killers—Alex plans an escape. But as he starts to uncover the truth about Furnace’s deeper, darker purpose, Alex’s actions grow ever more dangerous, and he must risk everything to expose this nightmare that’s hidden from the eyes of the world.
