Prolific novelist and "ER" creator Michael Crichton has passed away. He was 66.
Perhaps best known for being the author of Jurassic Park and its sequel The Lost World, which were turned into a hugely successful movie franchise, his numerous books have sold over 150 million copies worldwide.
In what his family calls an unexpected death, it was revealed that he was waging a private battle against cancer.

Last book of his I read was “State of Fear”, fiction book about the global warming hype. I’ve loaned it out to 5 or 6 people so far.

Sigh.
One of my favorite authors and a solid anti-warmer conservative.
He will be missed.
Prayers to his family

His anti-global warming novel, State of Fear was excellent. Highly recommended anti-PC book .

Screw Jurassic Park. Andromeda Strain was a masterpiece. And Crichton was the most eloquent critic of the global warming fraud in the world.
To: MeanGreen2008
Nooooooooooo! He was one of the good guys!

Andromeda Strain was wonderful, but the one I really liked was The Eaters of the Dead, now known as The Thirteenth Warrior.
