a fiction writer, however, he is now, as he has always been, extremely, extremely bad, almost unreadably bad.

I wish I could write as "bad" as Michael Crichton, who was laughing his way to the bank before many of us could walk.

I liked the movie The Andromeda Strain and that was more than 30 years ago now.

And don't forget the ka-ching, ka-ching of ER. Isn't he the creator and producer of it?

Here here! THE ANDROMEDA STRAIN, TERMINAL MAN, and TIMELINE are some of my favorites. The science is supportable, the storys keep one engaged, and Chriton's characteristic layering and stacking of the plotlines is very exciting.
