Robert Jordan's next Wheel of Time novel, Knife of Dreams (Tor), shows up this week on Amazon's list at #21 with pre-publication sales. The book is due in stores October 11th. Amazon's page (click on cover image) has an exclusive interview with Jordan.
Elsewhere, J.K. Rowling's latest Harry Potter novel still reigns on those lists it's eligible for, and drags earlier books in the series back onto various Amazon lists. Elizabeth Kostova's The Historian is the non-series novel still doing very well on lists from print publications, in its 10th week.
