Good point. Crichton wrote 'Eaters of the Dead,' which was an attractive paperback because of the line art. The story itself, about what Vikings found frightening, was a little simplistic, but not bad for an early novel.

And it was made into a movie (they took a lot of liberties) that's actually pretty good, "The 13th Warrior," although casting Antonio Banderas as an arab didn't work all that well, IMHO, although he was good in it.
