We’ve got two sleeper picks out of this week’s new releases, and we’re excited to get some readers buzzing about them! We’ve got one science fiction adventure with a hefty dose of conspiracy and some extraterrestrial life, and the first comprehensive, all-in-one-place take on the events of the Watergate scandal. Whether you’re looking for some off-world excitement or a little deep insight into historical events, one of these books will be there for you this week.
Mickey7 by Edward Ashton
Mickey Barnes thought that signing up to work on a colony ship headed to a new planet would be the answer to all of his problems. Unfortunately, his job is as an Expendable – someone who does the dangerous jobs no one else will do. As a result, Mickey dies a lot and has his mind and body cloned so he can continue work. Now he’s Mickey7, the Mickey who turns up living after being presumed dead, and the first Mickey to be alive at the same time as one of his duplicates. Duplicates are strictly forbidden, so Mickey7 must keep his identity secret while also trying to save the whole colony.
Watergate by Garrett Graff
As we approach the fiftieth anniversary of the Watergate scandal, we get the first definitive history of the events surrounding it. Now, in one place, readers can explore this historic event through the eyes of the politicians, journalists, informants, and witnesses who were there. Garrett Graff’s history of Watergate has been met with critical acclaim and starred reviews, and offers an exciting new chance to understand the scandal.
