Asteropê (21tauri) | 151 comments Hello, I was looking though the Giveaways and noticed this book:

Valhalla

The thing is, the summary attached to this book is incorrect (on the Read More window thing in Giveaway view). That summary says:

Enter to win an advance copy of Valhalla—a new installment in the fast-paced, action-packed thriller series from Tom Wood, perfect for fans of Robert Ludlum and Lee Child.

Victor the assassin returns in the new novel from the author of The Killer, The Enemy, and The Game...

THE JOB IS SIMPLE

When Victor is called to meet with an old friend who ultimately betrayed him, what he thought was an ambush is in fact a plea for help. As a Russian gangster, Norimov is accustomed to death threats, but now an unknown enemy wants more than his life. They intend to kill everyone he cares about, including his missing daughter Gisele. This time, Victor’s job is not to kill but to protect. Unfortunately, locating Gisele is his first mistake—because someone is watching his every move.

ESCAPE IS IMPOSSIBLE

Before she went into hiding, Gisele had uncovered a secret worth killing for—and now Victor has brought the enemy right to her doorstep. The least he can do is help her escape. But the ruthless network they’re up against has the police, MI5, and every major news outlet joining in the manhunt across London.


But that's not correct. Wrong book, wrong author, etc.
That's for this book not the book listed in the Giveaway: Better Off Dead
Plus that book has already been released.

The summary that should be listed is the one that's on the Books information (in normal view):

Along the Greenland ice cap, an expedition team makes an astounding discovery. Buried five hundred feet below the ice cap is the wreckage of an ancient ship—and nine perfectly preserved Vikings. Rune markings indicate it went missing in 1016 BC.

Energized by the find, retired Air Force general Steven Macaulay assembles the foremost scholars of Norse archaeology, including Harvard academic and master decoder Lexy Vaughan. But the mission is violently sabotaged—because this discovery holds the key to a mystery that will change the human race.

To put together the pieces of the puzzle, Macaulay and Lexy plunge headlong into a web of chaos and betrayal—all the while hunted by a covert primeval society that will stop at nothing to protect their secrets.


I just think this may lead to come confusion. If people just click on the "Read More" in Giveaway view and see the little pop-up summary, they may think they're entering for one thing, when it's really another.

Is there anyway for this to be changed or fixed? I'm assuming it was a mistake?
