Three authors who've become publishing franchises —Dan Brown, Mitch Albom and the late Michael Crichton— top this fall's lineup of books that promise to be commercial juggernauts:•Brown's The Lost Symbol (Sept. 15), his first book since 2003's The Da Vinci Code, is likely to be 2009's best-selling hardcover.
•Albom's Have a Little Faith (Sept. 29) is his first non-fiction since 1997's Tuesdays with Morrie.
•Crichton's adventure Pirate Latitudes (Nov. 24) was found in his computer after he died at 64 in November. (Steven Spielberg is developing the movie.)
They're just the biggest of big names: Nicholas Sparks (The Last Song, Tuesday), the late Sen. Edward Kennedy (True Compass, Sept. 14), David Baldacci (True Blue, Oct. 27) John Grisham (Ford County, Nov. 3), Stephen King (Under the Dome, Nov. 10), James Patterson (I, Alex Cross, Nov. 16) and Sue Grafton (U is for Undertow, Dec. 1).
