Weekly Bestsellers, 30 July
 Debuting this week is Orson Scott Card & Aaron Johnston’s Earth Unaware (Tor), a prequel to Ender’s Game and first of a new “Formic Wars” trilogy, ranking #14 on the New York Times fiction hardcover list, #17 on the same list at Publishers Weekly, and #88 on the combined USA Today list.
Also notable this week is the reappearance of David Mitchell’s Cloud Atlas, in trade paperback, ranking as high as #8 today on Amazon.com, presumably in response to the widely circulated trailer for the film this past week, which stars Tom Hanks and is written for the screen and directed by Tom Tykwer and Lana & Andy Wachowski.
