THE HIDDEN COST OF GOING #1 ON AMAZON

Our first giveaway campaign was a great success — it helped The Emperor & Financial Game become an Amazon #1 Bestseller. 🏆
However, the sudden spike in ratings and reviews triggered Amazon’s automated system to flag unusual activity.
😕 As a result, many genuine 5-star reviews were suppressed, while a single 1-star rating without saying was still displayed — pulling down the book’s average rating unfairly.

It’s frustrating, especially because the book has received so much love and thoughtful feedback from real readers. But we move forward — with the support of readers who truly understand the story behind The Emperor & Financial Game. 🙏📖

The Emperor & Financial Game Now Listed by Blackwell’s – A Prestigious Academic Bookseller

📣 Exciting News: The Emperor & Financial Game Now Listed by Blackwell’s – A Prestigious Academic Bookseller

I am honored to share that my short historical novel, The Emperor & Financial Game, has now been officially listed on the website of Blackwell’s, one of the UK’s most respected academic booksellers:
👉 https://blackwells.co.uk/bookshop/sea...

Unlike platforms that rely solely on self-submission, Blackwell’s independently curates its catalog, especially for titles that serve educational, historical, and intellectual audiences. This means The Emperor & Financial Game was selected and indexed through their global book supply network, making it available to libraries, scholars, and universities across the UK and beyond.

---

🌍 Why This Matters

Founded in 1879, Blackwell’s has served institutions such as Oxford University, Cambridge, and numerous research libraries across Europe. Their catalog is highly regarded by:

Academics and researchers

Public and university libraries

Book professionals seeking reliable, thought-provoking content

The presence of my book on their platform signals that it has been recognized as a work with academic or cultural value—especially given its cross-border themes in finance, history, espionage, and legacy.

---

📗 About the Book

The Emperor & Financial Game is a compact historical novel revealing an intergenerational conspiracy tied to global finance and hidden empires. Inspired in part by real events and personal research, the story journeys from early 20th-century Asia to the vaults of American and European banking systems, unraveling secrets about wealth, power, and identity.

---

📢 Limited-Time Offer & Final Giveaway Hours!

To celebrate this milestone, the eBook is still available for just $0.99 on Amazon – for a limited time only:
👉 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D7VF3RTS

Also, our Goodreads Giveaway is ending in just over 1 day!
Don’t miss your chance to win a free paperback copy here:
🎁 https://www.goodreads.com/giveaway/sh...

This milestone confirms the growing reach of the book, which is also available via Amazon, Goodreads, and academic distributors.

I am deeply grateful for the organic recognition this work is receiving, and I look forward to sharing more developments—perhaps even a film adaptation in the near future.

Warm regards,
Tedatom
