Here's a bit of mystery book news that flew under our radar.
Next month, James Patterson is publishing what is being called the first "chain thriller", a book written by the bestselling author plus 28 other contributing writers. Titled AirBorne, more details can be found on the book's website (hosted by the Australian division of Borders Books, which may be one of the reasons it escaped our attention).
Patterson will write the first and last chapters. Each of the 30 in total chapters will be released one day at a time starting Friday, March 20, 2009. There's no synopsis for the book (yet), but aspiring writers were told to write a fast-paced, thrilling chapter in the style of Patterson, 750 words or less.
And it's not at all clear whether the book, when published, will be available outside of Australia. Visitors to the website can enter to win a signed copy, but only Australian residents are eligible. (Presumably a Kindle version will be available regardless.)
Still and all, it ought to be an interesting read. We'll set a reminder for March 20th to check out the first chapter.
