Read three fall thrillers before they hit the shelves!

Posted on July 8, 2011 by Anneliese

While I know your shelves are likely stocked with fantastic reads to while away the summer months, I wanted to let you know about three of our upcoming fall thrillers and give you the chance to receive advance reader’s copies well before they hit bookstore shelves!

First up is Alma Katsu’s The Taker. The blogosphere is already buzzing about this debut novel that blends elements of alchemy, immortality, sensuality and betrayal in the tale of a love affair spanning 200 years. Immortality may seem enticing…but everything comes at a price.

Next is Javier Sierra’s long-awaited follow-up to The Secret Supper. The Lost Angel is a heart pounding apocalyptic thriller about a Middle Eastern terrorist group that will stop at nothing to get their hands on a mysterious pair of 16th century stones used for communicating with God. Is it possible that angels walk among us?

And lastly, is a debut thriller from British author Dean Crawford, Covenant. Humanity has always believed it is the only intelligent species in the universe. But what if the story of mankind is not as we know it? Archaeologist Lucy Morgan uncovers a seven-thousand-year-old tomb holding bones alien to our world. It’s the biggest discovery in history…but there are some things man was never meant to know.

Praise for Covenant:

“Get the cameras rolling–Indiana Jones meets Alien. What a combination of mystery, suspense, and unspeakable horror. I loved it!”

— R.L. Stine

“With scarily realistic science, earth-shattering intrigue and hyperdrive action, Covenant marks the launch of a major new talent in the thriller world.”

— Scott Mariani, author of The Mozart Conspiracy

We only have a limited quantity of each of these titles available so act quickly! ~~Email me at audrey@simonandschuster.ca with the subject line THRILLS and let me know which one(s) you’d like to receive. Closes July 31st, 2011. Canadian addresses only please.~~

Thank you to those who have entered. The contest is now closed. Winners will be contacted shortly.
