Random House subsequently bid an astronomical US $ 8 million to publish Frazier's next novel based on a one-page synopsis. But that book, Thirteen Moons, was 10 years in the making and earned mixed reviews from the critics. Recouping that investment does not appear to be in the cards.
而後美國藍燈書屋僅憑藉一頁劇情大綱，便以 800 萬美元「天價」標下佛瑞哲的新書《十三個月亮》，結果不僅等了整整 10 年才寫完，出版時更是毀譽參半，要能回收版稅宛如水中撈月。
