Yes I too liked his earlier works....then he sort of went the Techie way....I really enjoyed his "Eaters of the Dead" the film "The Thirteenth Warrior" screenplay is based on his book....Rus/Vikings and one Arab philosopher dealing with a very nasty tribe of Nocturnal flesh eating sub humans....Bit of a Sci Fi feel to it but the Vikings actors and Costumes are great........ worth a read or watch the film....A.Bandaras stars

RIP.

I really enjoyed Congo and Jurassic Park (film and book), so thank you for that Michael.

Have just heard on another list that author Michael Crichton died on November 4th. I am sorry to hear this. I always enjoyed his novels. Timeline was his historical one (medieval) and made into a film, although I guess he'll be most remembered for Jurassic Park.

I saw that in this morning's paper. For me, he'll be remembered as the creator of ER.

I put up a book display about him in the main lobby.

What a huge loss. He was one of my favourite authors, I could read and re read his books and not get bored.
RIP
