In Bookstores This January

If you've been reading this blog religiously, and maybe if you only come here now and again, you'd remember a writer whose work we reviewed here: N. Frank Daniels. Well Frank's book, Futureproof, will be published by Harper Perennial on the 27 of January this year.

If you want to support self-publishing and mainstream writers who have emerged from it, go ahead and buy the books on the day of the release.

Also coming out in January (the 20th) is Jeremy Robinson's Kronos. Though I have not been given a review copy—was it something I said? From the descriptions of the book on Amazon, I can say that it certainly seems like an awesome novel to me. The concept is certainly blockbuster material. I wonder when they will make a movie based on it.  Read the first chapter here. More from Amazon product description:

Two years after his wife's death, oceanographer and former navy SEAL, Atticus Young, attempts to reconcile with his rebellious daughter, Giona, by taking her on the scuba dive of a lifetime-swimming with a pod of peaceful humpback whales in the Gulf of Maine. But the beauty of the sea belies a terror from the deep-a horrific creature as immense as it is ancient. There is no blood, no scream, no fight. Giona is swallowed whole by the massive jaws. Only Atticus remains to suffer the shame of the survivor and his inconsolable grief turns to an unquenchable thirst for revenge.

Drawn by the spectacle, Trevor Manfred, a ruthless billionaire, approaches Atticus with a proposition: Trevor will make available all the advanced technology of his heavily armed mega-yacht, the Titan, to aid Atticus in his death-quest. In return, Trevor is to receive the beast's corpse as the ultimate hunting trophy. But in the midst of the hunt, Atticus makes a terrifying discovery that changes the way he sees the ocean's creatures and begs the question: what is Kronos? The answer sets him on a new and much more deadly course.
