By the way, I wholeheartedly recommend The Taking by Dean Koontz. Entertaining.
You cannot be serious. It's an awfull, awfull, awfull book.
It showed so much promise when you read the first hundred pages and then it just goes screwy.
I'm going to spoiler the gist of what the story is about and the ending, but if you're tempted to read that book read this and you wont want to.

I read Danielle Steele when I was about 12. After reading about 6-7 of her books I realized I had read them all and could move on to something new.

The sample chapter from Bantam Spectra's Pulse magazine has been made available on Amazon.co.uk. It's pretty twisted, but good.

That excerpt is awesome. It is really good. Now, how about a novel instead of teasers?
Well after he travels through Europe, he has to do his interplanetary book tour (that still remains unfinished...mind you
)to Venus, Mars...and maybe...just maybe....Neptune if he can squeeze it in.

And we also can't forget the break to do a tour of every NFL stadium this fall.

Oops, just added, he'll also be visiting every Division one and two stadium as well. Unavoidable, he's been committed to this stadium thing for 45 years. He plans to skip his entire life March and april entirely to work on the book though. Promise.
