New Book Excerpts 6-10-09
Here are the last book excerpts posted in our Excerpts section.
Children's and Young Adult:
The Sorceress
by Michael Scott (Random House)
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.
