Читать книгу Prison Wars: An Inside Account of How the Apocalypse Happened By Martin Sanger - Martin Sänger - Страница 3

A prison guard sold us the first twelve chapters of this manuscript. Social Books, the publisher, had decided to compile information on Prison Wars with the intention of releasing a definitive account for posterity. When it was safe to do so, one of our first efforts was to contact whomever might be left at Martin Sanger’s prison. It was upon visiting the prison facilities that we got word of the existence of this manuscript. We quickly began attempts to secure it.

We have no independent corroboration of the veracity of the accounts herein. But this manuscript surfaced only twelve days after the final Prison Wars games took place. The difficulty of fabricating such a detailed and personal account in so short an amount of time seems to validate its authenticity.

A gentleman brought us Chapter Thirteen five days after we secured and began publicizing the manuscript we had found in the prison. Martin Sanger did not bring it to us. The man who brought it to us was extremely guarded about how he happened upon it. Like the prison guards before him, he demanded cash and anonymity.

Not having publicized that there were only twelve chapters in the original manuscript, the additional chapter being numbered ‘thirteen,’ lends further credence to the authenticity of this manuscript. Furthermore, the continuity in writing styles indicates that Martin Sanger wrote all the chapters.

As of yet, Martin Sanger’s whereabouts are unknown. We publicly admit to the publishing the manuscript without his permission. Even so, throughout the text the author reasserts that he wrote this chronicle for the benefit of posterity. If authentic, we have no doubt that Mr. Sanger would want the contents disseminated.

When found, all of the contents herein had already been typed. Except for formatting, and correcting the more egregious punctuation and spelling errors (undoubtedly due to the haste of the writing), the manuscript has been published without alterations. We at Social Books believe that, after this preface, Martin Sanger wrote all of the contents herein.
