The Hammer of Eden

Ken Follett · Crown · 1998

A UK Macmillan (London) edition and a US Crown edition both appeared in 1998; several dealers list the Macmillan UK edition first. The UK Macmillan hardcover is the likely true first for this British author, and the month-to-month precedence between the two 1998 printings is not firmly documented, so this record identifies only the US Crown first with confidence.
