It’s a brand new week and we have a brand new competition for you! This time we have 3 copies of the new Iron Man: Virus novel to give away!

Synopsis

Iron Man Virus

In the clear blue skies above Long Island, two airplanes collide. Tony Stark watches the scene in horror and wishes he had the technology that is almost within his reach—a new hyperintelligent instant control system that could have given the aircraft advance warning. But Stark, an obsessive, increasingly troubled recluse, doesn’t know that his invention has been compromised.

In fact, the collision was a carefully crafted hit on Madame Hydra, the final stage in Arnim Zola’s plan to seize control of HYDRA and get rid of Iron Man once and for all. The cunning adversary has already infiltrated Stark Industries security to develop a version of the instant control mechanism that will take over the armored suit and turn it against Stark and S.H.I.E.L.D. While Tony races to track down the source of the intrusion, Zola unleashes direly ingenious computer viruses and the ultimate secret weapon: a murderous clone army based on Stark’s most trusted friend. A puppet master of self-replicating terror, Zola is plunging a city into a war that threatens to consume all in its wake.

This brand new, original novel goes beyond the movie story to continue the adventures of Tony Stark!

With stunning special effects and gritty realism, the film plunges us into a world where the aliens have landed… only to be exiled to a slum on the fringes of Johannesburg. Now, one lone human discovers the mysterious secret of the extraterrestrial weapon technology. Hunted and hounded through the bizarre back alleys of an alien shantytown, he will discover what it means to be the ultimate outsider on your own planet.”

Moon

Thanks to Sony Pictures Entertainment, we’ve got a copy Duncan Jones’s fantastic sci-fi thriller Moon for you win, which is released in the UK on DVD and Blu-ray on the 16th of November.

They also have a rather cool new website up to go along with the DVD/Blu-ray release, which you can see here.

Synopsis

It is the near future. Astronaut Sam Bell (Sam Rockwell) is living on the far side of the moon, completing a three-year contract with Lunar Industries to mine Earth’s primary source of energy, Helium-3. It is a lonely job, made harder by a broken satellite that allows no live communications home. Taped messages are all Sam can send and receive.

Thankfully, his time on the moon is nearly over, and Sam will be reunited with his wife, Tess, and their three-year-old daughter Eve, in only a few short weeks. Finally, he will leave the isolation of “Sarang,” the moon base that has been his home for so long, and he will finally have someone to talk to beyond the base’s well-intentioned, but rather uncomplicated computer (voiced by Kevin Spacey).

Suddenly, Sam’s health starts to deteriorate. Painful headaches, hallucinations and a lack of focus lead to an almost fatal accident on a routine drive on the moon in a lunar rover. While recuperating back at the base (with no memory of how he got there), Sam meets a younger, angrier version of himself, who claims to be there to fulfil the same three year contract Sam started all those years ago...

Competition To Win Moon on Blu-Ray!

We’ll have a review of the film up soon, but for your chance to win your own copy of Moon on Blu-ray, all you have to do is answer the following question:

The competition closes on 16th Nov 2009 and is open to UK residents aged 18 or over. There will be 1 winners picked from the on site entries. By entering this competition, you are agreeing to the rules of this competition. Full rules can be read here.
