Dean Koontz's The Taking debuts on 4 lists this week, in the top 10 at New York Times, Washington Post, and Publishers Weekly.
The long-awaited sixth volume in Stephen King's The Dark Tower series, Song of Susannah (Donald M. Grant/Scribner), sits at #1 on Amazon's Top 100 Sellers today, the day it's due in stores. The previous, fifth volume also ranks on Amazon's list, as does volume seven, to be published in September.
Karen Joy Fowler's non-SF The Jane Austen Book Club (though it does involve a World Fantasy Con and a couple books by Ursula K. Le Guin) is still doing very well, ranking on every US list compiled this week.
Also debuting is Newt Gingrich & William R. Forstchen's Grant Comes East (St. Martin's/Thomas Dunne), the second book in their alternate history Civil War series, ranking #28 on Amazon's list, which has the 2003 first volume Gettysburg returning to the list at #88.
The trade paperback of Audrey Niffenegger's crossover time travel novel The Time Traveler's Wife (Harvest) debuts on 4 lists this week; it's been on Amazon's list for 2 weeks already.
