SFFH Books on General Bestseller Lists
posted 11 December 2006
Michael Crichton's Next (HarperCollins) debuts strongly on print lists this week -- #1 at Washington Post and Publishers Weekly, #2 at USA Today and New York Times, #5 at San Francisco Chronicle.
Dean Koontz's Brother Odd (Bantam) is just a little ways down from Crichton, ranking 5th or 6th on four of the print lists.
In paperback, a new Star Wars novel by Troy Denning (Del Rey), and the paperback reprint of Robert Jordan's Knife of Dreams (Tor), debut on various lists.
