I had no idea he was sick for such a long time. I liked his writing. Michael Crichton will be sadly missed. My condolences to his family and friends.

State of Fear was my favorite of his book I read. May he rest in peace.

Andromeda Strain was great too. Really classy.

A great storyteller, and a champion of truth. He will be missed.

His books seemed designed to provoke debate, whether the theories of quantum physics in "Timeline," the reverse sexual discrimination of "Disclosure" or the spectre of Japanese eminence in "Rising Sun." "The initial response from the (Japanese) establishment was, 'You're a racist,'" he told the AP. "So then, because I'm always trying to deal with data, I went on a tour talking about it and gave a very careful argument, and their response came back, 'Well you say that but we know you're a racist.'"

He was one of the better writers. Phenomenally bright person.
