Debuts this week: Michael Cunningham's literary SF/fantasy novel Specimen Days (Farrar, Straus, Giroux) appears on 4 published lists, as high as #6 in San Francisco. The last in Newt Gingrich & William R. Forstchen's Civil War trilogy, Never Call Retreat (St. Martin's/Thomas Dunne Books) appears on 2 lists. And Dan Simmons' Olympos, already out in the UK from Gollancz and appearing next Tuesday in the US from Eos, appears on both UK and US Amazon lists today.
J.K. Rowling's forthcoming Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince ranks #1 this week on all three Amazon lists, with about 3 weeks to go before publication.
