    • This book has me thinking
    • I am used to extensive references in my academic work and none in my thriller fiction, but Crichton does an incredible job and now I need to go to the primary sources.

    • good book for the environmental skeptic. After reading this book i suggest surfing around the net as some "facts" in the book have been debunked. Very interesting read.

      I thought I'd take a dip into the world of Michael Crichton after a an absence of several years, but I think I dipped into the wrong book. Crichton has definitely done his homework, but his usual integration of science and technology was pretty weak and sometimes I couldn't tell if I was reading a novel or an academic paper. Way too much time on the global warming info - way too little time on a good story.

    • This one is better than "Prey," but I just can't bring myself to finish it. I think I lost interest around the time Crichton said that a 150sqmi glacier had roughly the same area as Rhode Island. Rhode Island is over 1,200sqmi.

Book Description

The undisputed master of the techno-thriller has written his most riveting -- and entertaining -- book yet.

Once again Michael Crichton gives us his trademark combination of page-turning suspense, cutting-edge technology, and extraordinary research. State of Fear is a superb blend of edge-of-your-seat suspense and thought provoking commentary on how information is manipulated in the modern world. From the streets of Paris, to the glaciers of Antarctica to the exotic and dangerous Solomon Islands, State of Fear takes the reader on a rollercoaster thrill ride, all the while keeping the brain in high gear.
