Millennium Thrills in September 2017

Barbara Hoffert - PrePub AlertI know, I know, you’ve been in Millennium withdrawal since reading The Girl in the Spider’s Web, David Lagercrantz’s continuation of Stieg Larsson’s blockbuster series starring Lisbeth Salander and Mikael Blomkvist, which was released in September 2015. Now Knopf has announced the next in the series, to be published in September 2017. (I like it that Lagercrantz spent some time crafting this new work.) No title or plot details yet, but don’t worry; I’ll keep you posted.

Expect the unexpected. Celebrated fiction and poetry writer Sherman Alexie offers a memoir, celebrated memoirist Alexandra Fuller offers a first novel, celebrated visionary fiction writer Neal Stephenson joins with top pop fiction author Nicole Gallant to craft some magic, and celebrated Indian American Thrity Umrigar departs for larger territory. Plus you get to ride with the Pony Express.

Anthony Horowitz Really Big Thrillers | Fiction Previews

With every Prepub Alert, the big print-run titles often seem to be thrillers. These titles aren’t all the thrillers publishing in June 2017, but from Robert Crais’s The Wanted to Mary Kubica’s Every Last Lie, they caught my eye with their mega printings (when posted), strong author reputation, and promotional backing.
 
The Loyal Son: The War in Ben Franklin's House From Revolutionary America to Saddam Hussein | History Previews

Big history titles this month go as far back as Benjamin Franklin’s relationship with his loyalist son and as far forward as the relationship of 12 U.S. soldiers with the prisoner they’re guarding, Saddam Hussein. In between you’ll find World War II, young American radicals, and more.
