Today Carte Blanche, the new James Bond novel by Jeffrey Deaver, is published. Some shops are selling it for half price, however I managed to buy a copy in my local Tescos for a mere £5.00, or 75% off the RRP.
Other new books out this week that caught my eye include the new Jason Bourne novel The Bourne Dominion by Eric Lustbader, the paperback of The Dealer and the Dead by Gerald Seymour and the paperback of Harbour by John Ajvide Lindqvist.

New books for July
Here are a few books that I bought last Thursday and am looking forward to reading over the next few weeks.
First of all Gerald Seymour's new novel The Dealer and the Dead has just been published in hardback in the UK. I've been reading Seymour since 1987 and he's my favourite author currently writing, so his new novel is always something I look forward to.
This new book deals with a hit-man being sent after an arms dealer who never delivered weapons to a Croatian village that was under siege during the civil war in the 1990s.
Next up is the new Robert Harris paperback, Lustrum. As with a previous novel, Imperium, the book is set in ancient Rome and takes the form of a fictional biography of Cicero. Put like that it sounds quite boring but Harris can make anything exciting and is great at describing his characters.
Finally there's the new 800 page plus door-stopper from Stephen King, Under the Dome. This books deals with a mysterious barrier appearing around a small town that cuts it off from the outside world. (I know at least one other novel that dealt with a similar set-up, All Flesh is Grasss by Clifford D Simak.)
The UK publisher has the gimmick of a "limited edition" set of different covers, four of which are shown below. I think there is at least one other that I have not seen online yet. I went for the "young woman" cover oddly enough, although the "old man" cover is growing on me!

Gerald Seymour's The Dealer and the Dead publication date moved up
Just spotted this on Amazon UK. Gerald Seymour's next novel, The Dealer and the Dead, has had its publication date changed to 8 July 2010.
This is only ten months since the previous book, The Collaborator, came out in hardcover so I imagine it might be a mistake.
Still, I am quite happy to be proved wrong!

Gerald Seymour's The Dealer and the Dead blurb
Amazon UK now have a short blurb for Gerald Seymout's next novel, The Dealer and the Dead...
Source: www.amazon.co.uk
Eighteen years after the barbarous war with the Serbs that tore their communities apart, a group of Croatian villagers discover the identity of the Englishman who they believe betrayed them by welching on a deal to supply arms.
With revenge in sight at last, they hire a professional killer from London to track him down . . . but is the story as simple as they think?
A brilliant, bruising thriller, told in a unique way, about what happens when the hand of the past suddenly reaches out to the present - and is holding a gun.

It's presently titled The Dealer and the Dead and will be published by Hodder & Stoughton on 14 Oct 2010.
No cover or plot details yet and I wouldn't be surprised if the title changes before then.
