Slate has an excerpt here http://www.evilbore.com/forum/index.php?topic=7957.0 (http://www.evilbore.com/forum/index.php?topic=7957.0) Seems pretty good and at least Hitchens isn't trying to get us to invade anything in this book.
Here is a list of some of the other books about atheism released of late.
Atheist Manifesto: The Case Against Christianity, Judaism, and Islam (2007)
The Quotable Atheist: Ammunition for Nonbelievers, Political Junkies, Gadflies, and Those Generally Hell-Bound (2007)
The Atheist's Bible: An Illustrious Collection of Irreverent Thoughts (2007)
Infidel (2007)
Nothing: Something to Believe in (2007)
The New Encyclopedia of Unbelief (2007)
Parenting Beyond Belief: On Raising Ethical, Caring Kids Without Religion (2007)
God: The Failed Hypothesis. How Science Shows That God Does Not Exist (2007)
The God Delusion (2006)
The Varieties of Scientific Experience: A Personal View of the Search for God (2006)
The Improbability of God (2006)
Atheists: A Groundbreaking Study of America's Nonbelievers (2006)

I like the books the God Critique and Atheism: A Philosophical Justification from the early 90's. Mainly because they tend to focus more on philosophical aspects of the issue and not on the consequences of religious beliefs like many of the recent books.

I wrote a paper once on how science is the modern mythology. I think history will look kindly upon my idea.

I liked the excerpt. If I pre-order this book they should send me a free bottle of KY.
