Description

About the Author Michael Crichton was a writer and filmmaker, best known as the author of Jurassic Park and the creator of ER. One of the most popular entertainers in the world, Crichton sold more than 200 million copies of his books which have been translated into 40 languages and adapted into 15 films. Long before the carefully researched techno-thrillers that ultimately brought him to fame, Crichton wrote high-octane suspense novels to support himself while studying at Harvard Medical School. He published eight of these books under the pseudonym John Lange between the years of 1966 and 1972. They provided him with the means to complete his education. He graduated at the top of his class.Christopher Lane has narrated more than 100 audiobooks, including Earphones and Audie Award winners. He has taught acting at Boston College and has appeared extensively onstage, receiving the Helen Hayes Award for his performance in Equus. He lives in New England.

Warm up for Jurassic Park

Hard Case Crime has brought these early Michael Crichton novels all back in print. While I would be hard pressed to call this Hard Boiled Crime Fiction as is the staple of Hard Case Crime it is a fun read.

Written under his alias John Lange , it is great to have these early books back in print. Because Crichton was an unknown these originals are hard to find and very pricey.

I would classify the book as a conspiracy thriller with science fiction elements tossed in.

It starts with people going into comas and blue urine. It winds as a story about a giant island resort were your every fantasy and dream can be made real.

This is very much the building blocks of both Jurassic Park and Westworld.

The ending is a bit clunky but it is a breezy light fun ride.

Recommended.
