And the James Patterson juggernaut just keeps on rolling…
On December 14, the author’s newest young adult offering, Witch & Wizard, will be released. And while that’s little more than a month away, hardcore fans that have been chomping at the bit have new reason to celebrate: The entire book can now be downloaded for free on WitchandWizard.com.
An introduction to Witch & Wizard from the publisher: The world is changing: the government has seized control of every aspect of society, and now, kids are disappearing. For 15-year-old Wisty and her older brother Whit, life turns upside down when they are torn from their parents one night and slammed into a secret prison for no reason they can comprehend. The New Order, as it is known, is clearly trying to suppress Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Being a Normal Teenager. But while trapped in this totalitarian nightmare, Wisty and Whit discover they have incredible powers they'd never dreamed of. Can this newly minted witch and wizard master their skills in time to save themselves, their parents--and maybe the world?
Patterson has said, “This is the story I was born to write.”
But before Witch & Wizard has a chance to work its magic on the world, the author will bring back his trademark character in I, Alex Cross. To be released on November 16, the fifteenth book to feature Cross finds the Detective involved in a case where the stakes are high because the crime is personal. After receiving word that a beloved family member has been murdered, Cross sets out to investigate. What he finds is that she was not the killer’s only victim. Along with his girlfriend, Detective Brianna Stone, Cross enters the world that she inhabited—a wild scene where every fantasy is possible. And where somebody will stop at nothing to protect their secrets…
Extensive excerpts from I, Alex Cross are available online now.
