Paolini is truly one of the wonders of the publishing world. "Brisingr" (which means "fire" in the fictional ancient language of Alagaesia) was originally intended to be the last book in the Inheritance cycle (" Eragon" and " Eldest" are the first two), but Paolini announced to readers last year that the third book was becoming too lengthy and would have to be split in two. tonight and lasting until the books appear at 12:01 a.m. Borders alone is planning more than 700 in-store parties scheduled to begin at 10 p.m. Stores in both the US and the UK where the book will be released (the rest of the world has to wait) are planning late-night parties. It's not quite " Harry Potter" (400 million copies sold worldwide) but at 15 million and climbing, it's not bad, either. At 12:01 tomorrow morning, " Brisingr," the third book of Christopher Paolini's fantasy series about a boy and his brilliant blue dragon, Saphira, who live in the kingdom of Alagaesia and must save the world from an evil king, will be released. Booksellers throughout the US and UK are gearing up today.
