Just like the previous book, Interstellar has received too much attention, especially since it has just won the Prix Goncourt, and the mainstream literary circle is also looking at this book, wondering if Lin Han can still write a good work like "Hyperion". Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Invincible from the beginning, it continued Lin Han's king road, all the way to the top of the domestic sales list, and even cut down the United Kingdom and other 11 national championships on the first day of listing.

But in the United States, it has met its rival in the new book "Speed Angel" from the best-selling king James Patterson, an ambitious plan of James Patterson to conquer the juvenile book world with this novel!

James Patterson's works have long been suspense-based adult book sales charts, and this time he stormed the juvenile book world, and the novel was strongly supported by publishers before it was published.

Over the past few years, his best-selling books have surpassed the totals of Dan Brown, J.K. Rowling, Tom Clancy, and John Grisham.

But in the past two years, while the overall sales momentum of the American book market has declined, the sales of James Patterson's novels have shown an upward trend!

This time, he crossed over from the field of adult books to the field of books for minors, and he just wanted to occupy the market of teenagers and continue to improve his book sales.

As the king of American thriller mystery novels, every time his new work comes out, he can make the first page of the New York Times bestseller list, and is praised by Time magazine as a person who never misses!

In the past few years, his books have been the most borrowed in American and British libraries.

Even in the United States, at least 100 million people have read one of his works!

That is, one out of every three American citizens has read his work.

Up to now, he is one of the few powerful writers who can rank NO.1 at the same time with five new hardcover works in one year, and the other person is Lin Han!

It can be said that last year's New York Times bestseller list was dominated by these two people in turn, and the rest could only occasionally find time to win a championship.

The best-selling king's last book to win the title was "Trapped Beast" two months ago, and it was this book that pulled "Jurassic Park" off the top of the list.

When the "Jurassic Park" movie was released on a large scale around the world, the novel of the same name also rebounded strongly from the top 100 on the sales list to the top position.

It's a pity that I didn't stay for a month, and I was kicked down by the newly listed "Trapped Beast", and it can be said that the works of the two have had several open and secret battles!

This thriller follows the time when animal violence attacks humans around the globe, and a young, iconoclastic scientist is determined to find out the truth behind these mysterious events.

Scientists must hurry up, otherwise humans and animals may both lose and even go extinct together! Such an excellent novel with a reversal theme swept the world as soon as it was published, and was even directly favored by CBS TV in the United States, which directly bought the rights of the TV series and prepared to shoot it into an American drama!

It has been the top spot in the Forbes list of global authors for three consecutive years, and last year James Patterson beat Lynham with $72 million with a total income of $95 million.

This year is also approaching the end of the year, and whether Lin Han, who has only published one "The Matrix", can overturn James Patterson, who has published four or five books, has become a hot spot in the eyes of many people!

Right now, the battle for the top of the best-selling lists of "Interstellar" and "Fast Angel" has become the prelude to the total revenue war, and the total revenue list will have to wait for Forbes to announce it at the end of the year, but the two books have already started a fierce confrontation in the American book market!

The most coincidental thing is that these two books actually contain science fiction elements, and it goes without saying that "Interstellar" is orthodox science fiction.

According to the reviews that book critics read and exposed in advance, "Speed Angel" is a fusion of science fiction and fantasy elements, allowing high technology to become a tool for world domination, and making many people ruthless.

The difference is that the male protagonist of "Interstellar" is an uncle with children and daughters, while the protagonist of "Speed Angel" is six children!

I have to say that this week, with the duel between the two super-god-level kings, the entire American book market has become hot all of a sudden.

In the past year, the two of them have not only teamed up to dominate Forbes, but also dominated the book market in the United States and Europe and other countries.

In the past, their books were basically staggered, which was obviously the result of negotiations between publishers, and they did not want their works to be sold at a discount.

But this time, the two of them unexpectedly matched their new book, and at this time, no publisher was willing to back down!

This concession is a sign of weakness, both of them are not ordinary writers, and face is very important.

As a result, a new book encounter officially began, is the old king who is over sixty years old better, or the new best-selling king who is less than a year old stepping on the body of the old king?

It can be said that in the entire market, except for each other, no one is qualified to be a rival for them.

The tip of the needle is against Maimang, and the outcome of this competition is unpredictable!

Good bookmakers won't miss such an eye-catching opportunity, and they've opened a market for the top spot on the New York Times bestseller list!

Among them, the odds of "Speed Angel" are 1.21, and the odds of "Interstellar" are 1.59, which seem to be almost the same, only the odds of a few other books have reached more than 50, and it is not excluded that both of them have been upset by other books.

When the entertainment industry is calm, this kind of king-level battle in the book field is of course particularly eye-catching, so many broadcasters even invited commentators and forecasters to analyze the prospects of the two books to win the championship, and the listening rate is not low!

Both books have their own advantages and disadvantages, first of all, for James Patterson, he is American, and his nationality will definitely be a major advantage in this sales war in the United States.

After all, Lin Han is a Chinese, no matter how well his novels sell, it is Chinese, and he is an outsider to the American people, especially ***** has always been promoted by the Washington authorities!

Then there's the readership, James Patterson has been running his name since the beginning of the last century, publishing dozens of best-selling novels, and it's been said that one out of every three Americans has read his novels.

Lin Han is just a rising star, he only opened the American market with "I, Robot" and "The Martian" more than two years ago, and then "Inception", "Jurassic Park", "Hyperion", "Bouquet for Algernon", "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" and other works have successively expanded the readership.

There is also a very critical point that Lin Han is not good at marketing himself, he rarely even comes to the United States, and the American people rarely see the news about Lin Han, if it weren't for the Goncourt Literary Award a few days ago, the name Lin Han would have been forgotten by many people!

But James Patterson is different, he was born in an advertising agency before writing novels, and after becoming famous, he is even better at building a self-image, and has been active on the front line for a long time.

Not only does he sell his books to teenagers and adults on TV, but he often dresses up accordingly according to the content of the book, and goes on TV for interviews or something when he has nothing to do, such as "The Ellen Show" and "The Chicken Feather Show".

Being interviewed by websites, magazines, and newspapers is even more frequent, and even he is not stingy with his money to invest in the operation of independent bookstores in the United States, and even joins in the dispute over the pricing of Amazon e-books, calling for it as a public figure!

Even James Patterson is keen to make guest appearances in TV series, such as the hit American drama "Mystery Book", in which the actor Richard Cassel is a best-selling crime novel, often getting together with several fellow writers to chat and discuss while playing poker.

The TV series is also not actors, but real-life best-selling authors, including James Patterson!

This time, James Patterson added science fiction elements to his work, and he rightfully cheered for the new book "Speedy Angel" on social media, and even sent the book to major book reviewers in advance, and the novel was not released before a series of dazzling book reviews were applauded.

As a novel aimed at young readers, "Speed Angel" has a very good release, they not only provide free trial books in various schools, but also send physical books to teachers, as long as the teachers recommend it, students are basically easy to accept.

American writers release new books just like singers release new records, and all kinds of publicity channels are used to the extreme!

Before the release of "Speed Angel", Hollywood studios had already taken a fancy to it, and bought the rights to adapt the film, and it was even rumored that it was a teenage bestseller that was not inferior to "The Hunger Games".

Interstellar was humiliated by such a massive publicity, the author didn't bubble all day, and the publishing company didn't seem to want to win the war, and their propaganda strategy was to use social media, which was simple and resource-saving, and it looked a bit shabby!

In this way, Lin Han's "Interstellar" seems to have no chance of winning, and it has been crushed by "Speed Angel" in all aspects.

But it also has advantages, and that's the subject matter above!

Lin Han has always been famous for writing science fiction novels, so the readership of "Interstellar" is basically very fixed, with the support of many old readers.

"Speed Angel" is a little worse, after all, James Patterson used to write suspense novels, and now he crosses over to write science fiction novels, is the quality of the novel really guaranteed?

Judging from the odds given by the bookmaker, they are only slightly optimistic about James Patterson, not that Lin Han has no chance of winning, the probability of the two winning the championship is between the two, and it is not yet known who will die!
