Very sorry to hear this. I very much enjoyed Crichton's early novels under his own and other names.
Thanks to Todd Mason for the tip.

sad news. One of the great popular writers of our time.
His Andromeda Strain was made into one of my favourite movies... and then remade badly.
I liked his recent novel Prey alot. I think he was excellent at pacing and a constant level of suspense. People could get a little caught up arguing about his themes.
Another point of view: Michael Crichton dies
Thanks, Polly!
