Valerie Nelson's last three novels sold well over a million copies each. She's now finished a new novel, and it has gotten better reviews than the earlier ones. Hence, her new novel should sell over a million copies, too.

The argument is inductive because it makes a generalization based on specific instances (the sales of Valerie Nelson's last three novels and the reviews of her new one). It is considered strong because the premise (past success and positive reviews) reasonably supports the conclusion (the new novel should also sell well), though it does not guarantee it.
