Find the Pattern

CRONOS hides dozens of secrets — real names, real events, real dates, references buried in plain sight. Some of it, you can look up. That’s the part that should frighten you.

Woven through the novel are historical figures, hidden cameos, ciphers, cross-timeline echoes, and one or two things no one was ever meant to catch. Read closely. Reread. Then tell us what you found.

How it works

  1. Read CRONOS.
  2. Keep a list of every egg, reference, and hidden detail you uncover.
  3. Submit your list before 11 December 2026. One entry per reader.

Half the fun is the arguing. Many of these are deniable by design — so make your case.

The prizes

Every hunter who finds 15 or more receives Annotated CRONOS — the full companion, every secret explained — sent after the hunt closes.
The 10 sharpest hunters win a signed paperback and a permanent place in the Hall of Finders.

Enter the hunt

After the hunt

The hunt ends, but the finding never does. Share discoveries, argue interpretations, and see what others have unearthed in the Secrets thread. People will still be finding eggs in CRONOS years from now. Be one of them.

Open to readers 18+ (or with a parent/guardian) worldwide. Entries must be received by 11 December 2026. Winners are chosen at the author’s discretion; ambiguous finds are judged case by case; ties broken by earliest entry. Your email is used only to run this hunt and send the companion, then deleted. This promotion is not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by Amazon, and is in no way connected to reviews.
