The Emperor's Code is the eighth book in The 39 Clues series. This book is written by Gordon Korman.[1] On March 2, 2010 the cover was revealed to show a red mask with codes printed in certain areas over a purple background. After this release, readers were asked to find three out of the four codes printed on the mask, and, if they were successful, 39 Clues fans could read an excerpt from The Emperor's Code.[2][3]
