Weekly Bestsellers, 20 September

S.M. Stirling’s The Tears of the Sun (Roc), latest novel in his “Change” or “Emberverse” series, debuts on two fiction hardcover lists this week, ranking #12 at New York Times, #13 at Publishers Weekly.

This page missed the debut of Jeaniene Frost’s One Grave at a Time on several lists last week; this week it’s as high as #20 on the NYT mass market paperback list, #18 on PW‘s.

In print today are two titles ranking on Amazon but not yet on print lists: Neal Stephenson’s Reamde and Scott Westerfeld’s Goliath.
