James Patterson's new books released soon!


Popular adult (and young adult) author, James Patterson has two new titles releasing soon.  Although I don't read Patterson's adult novels, I know many of my friends do, so here's the cover and some information for them.
Kill Me If You Can drops on August 29th.  Here's the review found on Amazon.com...

"Matthew Bannon, a poor art student living in New York City, finds a duffel bag filled with diamonds during a chaotic attack at Grand Central Station. Plans for a worry-free life with his gorgeous girlfriend Katherine fill his thoughts--until he realizes that he is being hunted, and that whoever is after him won't stop until they have reclaimed the diamonds and exacted their revenge.

Trailing him is the Ghost, the world's greatest assassin, who has just pulled off his most high-profile hit: killing Walter Zelvas, a top member of the international Diamond Syndicate. There's only one small problem: the diamonds he was supposed to retrieve from Zelvas are missing. Now, the Ghost is on Bannon's trail--but so is a rival assassin who would like nothing more than to make the Ghost disappear forever. From "America's #1 storyteller" (Forbes) comes a high-speed, high-stakes, winner-take-all thrill ride of adrenaline-fueled suspense."

And here's the fourth in the Daniel X series, Game Over. If you're unfamiliar with this series, I've included Amazon's description of it as well.  This title drops on September 19th.

"When Daniel X discovers that a duo of evil extraterrestrials is plotting to control kids around the world through videogames, he's determined to take them both out of commission. This pair of wicked game masters wants to destroy the human race by turning brainwashed videogamers into an unstoppable army of doom! They're also running an endangered species hunting club on the side, and their next target is none other than Daniel. He'll have no choice but to turn to the aliens' rebellious son who needs help to stand up to his malicious parents. But can Daniel trust the progeny of this treacherous twosome? Or will it be "Game Over" for the alien hunter?" 

This series is popular among our middle school boys.  I thought the first book was enjoyable, with Patterson's typical short chapters and action-packed adventure.  I know this will be one book that will be checked out constantly this year!

Happy Reading!
