Wow, he was only 66? He wrote the Andromeda Strain in the 60s - I figured he was pushing 80. Impressive writer.

Re: "Jurassic Park" author Michael Crichton dies
Unbelievable. I just finished "Next". He was one of those rare authors whose books I could read in one sitting.
He had cancer and didn't disclose it. I've been listening to the news all day and didn't hear anything about it. Got lost in the election coverage I guess. What a shame. |

He was also a leading skeptic on the issue of global warming. I haven't noticed any mention of this in his obituaries.
