Sometimes good can come out of the Internet and sometimes, a young man with a terminal illness has his dream come true. Colton Jang, under the user name Kivakid, posted on Reddit searching for an advanced copy of Harry Turtledove’s final book in The War That Came Early for his friend, Nachu Bhatnagar.
You see, Nachu has cancer and has less than a year to live. One of his dreams was finish Turtledove’s series but the latest wasn’t supposed to be released for a while. So Jang posted his letter to the publishers online, word spread and pretty soon, an ARC was sent over. Isn’t it crazy how small the world really is when it comes to the web? Watch the video above for the full reveal, as well as a special follow-up surprise for Nachu. Don’t you feel all warm and mushy inside?
Unless this is just viral marketing for Harry Turtledove. I hope not. It better not be.
