A sad loss. I'll never forget reading Jurrasic Park as a kid. _________________________________________________

Michael Crichton has been my favorite author since middle school. I really enjoy all of his books. As for Prey, I think it was one of his best works, definitely ready it!
One of my favorites, especially with his later novels where he was willing to take on cutting-edge scientific theories, and scientific and social dogma. RIP

What a talented author! I thoroughly enjoyed many of his books and appreciated how he took the time to know the subject matter in the most intricate detail. I thought he was great before, but since I live in outerspace I had no idea he wrote ER. Now I have even more respect for his skills.
