Putnam's Summer Stars
by Daisy Maryles -- Publishers Weekly, 7/10/1997
Catherine Coulter's 43rd novel, The Maze, makes it to the #6 slot with 175,000 copies in print, and in this one she shifts away from the historical romances for which she's best known to offer her first hardcover contemporary story (PW said it is "gripping enough to establish Coulter firmly in this genre"). It follows closely on last year bestselling paperback contemporary original, The Cover. Coulter is finishing up a nine-city tour that took her to Philadelphia Baltimore, Cincinnati, Jacksonville, Tulsa, Oklahoma City, Denver, Colorado Springs and San Francisco.One of the five fiction books right below the top 15 is W.E.B. Griffin's The Last Her s, the first in a four-volume series called Men at War. Copies in print total about 175,000 and Putnam has scheduled national TV ads on CNN. The book was originally published as a paperback original in 1985 under the pseudonym "Alex Baldwin."
Also beginning to climb the charts in Dale Brown's 10th techno-thriller, Fatal Terrain, which has 110,000 copies in print. Putnam launched this book, too, with a CNN TV ad campaign.
