I am a huge fan of Michael Crichton, and State of Fear is one of his best!

Interesting guy-his book “Andromeda Strain” which was made into a movie leveraged the extent of knowledge of the day, and when they filmed the movie, he was insistent on purchasing real state-of-the-art equipment of the day (1971?) even though the film people were resistant.

As for “State of Fear”, boy, did he ever hit the nail on the head with that one, it is one of my favorites! How can you criticize a book where the bad guys, instead of driving black SUV’s or Cadillacs, are enviro-weenies who drive Toyota Prius’ and instead of machine guns in violin cases, use Blue Ringed Octopi in zip lock bags!

Brilliant! I wish they made THAT into a movie!
