This Week's Releases! 8th-- 14th
Hello readers and welcome to this week’s releases! Where once
a week I talk about all the new books coming out that week! This week I’m
covering the books that have been released from July 8th until July
14th!
Alive by Scott Sigler
A young woman awakes trapped in an enclosed space. She has no idea
who she is or how she got there. With only her instincts to guide her, she
escapes her own confinement—and finds she’s not alone. She frees the others in
the room and leads them into a corridor filled with the remains of a war long
past. The farther these survivors travel, the worse are the horrors they
confront. And as they slowly come to understand what this prison is, they
realize that the worst and strangest possibilities they could have imagined
don’t even come close to the truth.
Coming out on July 14th
Go set a Watchmen by Harper Lee
Go Set a Watchman features many of the characters from To Kill a
Mockingbird some twenty years later. Returning home to Maycomb to visit her
father, Jean Louise Finch—Scout—struggles with issues both personal and
political, involving Atticus, society, and the small Alabama town that shaped
her.
Exploring how the characters from To Kill a Mockingbird are
adjusting to the turbulent events transforming mid-1950s America, Go Set a
Watchman casts a fascinating new light on Harper Lee’s enduring classic.
Moving, funny and compelling, it stands as a magnificent novel in its own
right.
Coming out July 14th
Armada by Ernest Cline
Zack Lightman has spent his life dreaming. Dreaming that the real
world could be a little more like the countless science-fiction books, movies,
and videogames he’s spent his life consuming. Dreaming that one day, some
fantastic, world-altering event will shatter the monotony of his humdrum
existence and whisk him off on some grand space-faring adventure.
But hey, there’s nothing wrong with a little escapism, right? After
all, Zack tells himself, he knows the difference between fantasy and reality.
He knows that here in the real world, aimless teenage gamers with anger issues
don’t get chosen to save the universe.
And then he sees the flying saucer.
Even stranger, the alien ship he’s staring at is straight out of
the videogame he plays every night, a hugely popular online flight simulator
called Armada—in which gamers just happen to be protecting the earth from alien
invaders.
No, Zack hasn’t lost his mind. As impossible as it seems, what he’s
seeing is all too real. And his skills—as well as those of millions of gamers
across the world—are going to be needed to save the earth from what’s about to
befall it.
It’s Zack’s chance, at last, to play the hero. But even through the
terror and exhilaration, he can’t help thinking back to all those
science-fiction stories he grew up with, and wondering: Doesn’t something about
this scenario seem a little…familiar?
Coming out July 14th
