Shannon,

Never Say Die is listed on Tess Gerritsen's website under romance.

http://www.tessgerritsen.com/romance.html

Here's a link to the book on Barnes and Noble.

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] ISBN search


Hi.
I am trying to figure out if a book that has been bouncing on and off the
step1 page for two months is truly by the author it says it's by.
It's been returned many times because of time expiring and since it's
supposedly by a favorite author of mine, I'd like to either accept it or
reject it once and for all.
With that said:
The book is Never Say die supposedly by Tess Gerritsen.
The file says it's published by Mira Books which I believe is in Canada,
hence maybe there's no US copyright.  I can't find this title by Tess
Gerritsen on the US copyright site at all.  She also does not have it listed
on her web site, www.tessgerritsen.com either.
According to the file, the ISBN is:
1-55166-176-4

From the file again:

Copyright © 1992 by Terry Gerritsen

Okay now I saw one item by a Terry Gerritsen on the US copyright site, but
since this was before I got the book, I did not research Terry Gerritsen.

However on the page before this  Copyright © 1992 by Terry Gerritsen

the book reads:

Coming soon from MIRA Books and TESS GERRITSEN

PRESUMED GUILTY

So now I am horrifically confused.  Are Terry and Tess Gerritsen the same
people?  I don't buy it, since Tess writes medical thrillers and this book
is not a medical thriller at all according to the short synapsis.  Also,
while you can't carve this observation in stone, Terry is a male spelling.

I am going back to the US copyright site to research Terry, but in the
meantime, where is a good place to go to search on ISBN numbers?

If I can't find a satisfactory answer to the Terry/Tess dellemma, I am
tempted to reject it with a long winded comment to our beloved
administrator.  And before you ask, there is no submitter info so I can't
ask there.

Can anybody offer me any guidance please.

Thank you,

Shannon Reece
