The sequel to Michael Wolff�s million-selling �Fire and Fury� is not attracting the same kind of interest, not even from President Donald Trump.

NPD BookScan reported Wednesday just 17,756 first-week sales for �Siege,� Wolff�s latest account of the Trump White House. It ranked just No. 11 overall, well behind the top seller, Delia Owens� novel �Where the Crawdads Sing.�

�Fire and Fury� sold more than 25,000 copies its first week despite a shortage of supply due to enormous, and unexpected, demand and sold nearly 200,000 copies the following week, according to BookScan, which tracks around 85% of physical book sales.

�Fire and Fury� went on to become one of the biggest books of 2018 despite doubts about its accuracy, although its portrait of a chaotic and feuding administration was largely affirmed by such subsequent releases as Bob Woodward�s �Fear.�

Trump has largely ignored �Siege,� which has few of the headline-making details of �Fire and Fury.�

The president tweeted angrily about Wolff�s previous book, saying it was �Full of lies, misrepresentations and sources that don�t exist.� Former White House strategist Steve Bannon was a key source for �Fire and Fury� and was mocked by Trump as �Sloppy Steve� after making such inflammatory comments as calling a 2016 Trump Tower meeting with Russian officials �treasonous.�

Bannon is again featured in �Siege,� but with the narrative focused on events following his departure, he serves more as commentator than participant. The New York Times suggested the book be read �less as a news report and more as a rhetorical gambit � a twisted bid to burnish Bannon�s anti-establishment legacy.�

�Fire and Fire� had a long run at the top of Amazon.com. As of Wednesday evening, �Siege� was No. 99.
