Here are the last book excerpts posted in our Excerpts section.

Children's and Young Adult:

The Sorceress by Michael Scott (Random House)

Book Excerpts 61009 Bestselling Irish author Michael Scott amps up the excitement in this third book in a projected six book series about the legendary Alchemyst Nicholas Flamel and American twins Josh and Sophie, who are the twins of legend with the power to save or destroy the world. In The Sorceress Sophie and Josh must master more of the elemental magics and defeat John Dee and the Archon Cerunnos. They hope to continue their training with Gilgamesh, the immortal king, who knows all the magic in the world, but cannot use it. Jumping from Paris to London to the island of Alcatraz near San Francisco, this is a fantastic entry in a series that keeps getting better.

Mystery/Thriller:

The Doomsday Key by James Rollins (William Morrow)

Nobody does scientific adventure like bestselling author James Rollins. Commander Gray Pierce and Sigma Force returns with their most exciting mission yet. Three bizarre murders around the world send Pierce and the two women in his life into a race against time to solve a riddle going back centuries, to a ghastly crime against humanity hidden within a cryptic medieval codex. The first piece of the puzzle is discovered inside a mummified corpse buried in an English peat bog -- a gruesome secret that threatens America and the world. This is the perfect summer read for fans of Indiana Jones and the books of Dan Brown.

Gone Tomorrow by Lee Child (Delacorte Press)

Jack Reacher returns in Lee Child's unstoppable thriller which begins with a simple ride on a subway in New York City. Reacher's military training tells him that he's sitting across from a suicide bomber: every one of the Israeli counterintelligence behavior indicators are there. But what if he's wrong? The incident puts him on a trail of deadly terrorists and at the center of dangerous game of cat and mouse.

Nonfiction:

The End of Overeating: Taking Control of the Insatiable American Appetite by David A. Kessler (Rodale)

Dr. David A. Kessler is a former FDA Commissioner and in his new book he charges that the food industry has colluded in creating modern processed foods that people literally cannot resist. He says that conditioned hypereating is a biological challenge, not a character flaw. It is not a matter of willpower, it is a result of being conditioned to eat certain types of food which trigger irresistible cravings. He promotes a plan to help avoid the food industry's lures and reduce people's cravings for junk food.
