Need any more evidence that
World of Warcraft has gone mainstream?
Arthas, the latest expanded universe novel about none other than our own Lich King (that got rave reviews
from our own writers), has reached number 16
on the New York Times bestseller list for hardcover fiction. We're sure that makes
Christie Golden happy -- I don't believe that any
Warcraft-related novels have ever made the list before.
Rise of the Horde is the most popular one I can think of, and I don't think that appeared there on first release. It's not the only videogame-related book of fiction to make the NYT, though --
the latest Halo novel did that a few years ago.
At any rate, just shows you how popular the
Warcraft universe really is, even outside of the videogame audience. You can pick up the
Arthas book at a bookstore near you, or
order it up from Amazon as well.
