His books have sold more than 200 million copies worldwide, have been translated into forty languages, and have provided the basis for. Gripping and thought-provoking, State of Fear is Michael Crichton at his very best. Michael Crichton (1942-2008) was the author of the bestselling novels The Terminal Man, The Great Train Robbery, Jurassic Park, Sphere, Disclosure, Prey, State of Fear, Next and Dragon Teeth, among many others. The novel races forward, taking the reader on a rollercoaster thrill ride, all the while keeping the brain in high gear. State of Fear takes the reader from the glaciers of Iceland to the volcanoes of Antarctica, from the Arizona desert to the deadly jungles of the Solomon Islands, from the streets of Paris to the beaches of Los Angeles. This is Michael Crichton's most wide-ranging thriller. Only Michael Crichton's unique ability to blend science fact and pulse-pounding fiction could bring such disparate elements to a heart-stopping conclusion. Thus begins Michael Crichton's exciting and provocative technothriller, State of Fear. And in Tokyo, an intelligence agent tries to understand what it all means. In Vancouver, a small research submarine is leased for use in the waters off New Guinea.

Ten years ago, when Michael Crichton’s new book, State of Fear was published, I was among the first in line to read the new hardcover edition. In the nonfactual State of Fear, we examine how Crichton's rejection of science led to a miscalculation of future events. In the jungles of Malaysia, a mysterious buyer purchases deadly cavitation technology, built to his specifications. Sci-author Crichton was an early climate change denier. The characterisation is actually better here than it is in a lot of his other books, while the story line is pretty good too. In Paris, a physicist dies after performing a laboratory experiment for a beautiful visitor. Crichton has an approachable writing style that means that it’s super easy to get absorbed into the story without having to worry about suspending your disbelief.
