2 of my very favorite authors. I will miss their contributions to my winter days inside the house.

Both waaaay too young.

Yeah, isn't State of Fear excellent! Right up there with Rainbow Six. And the actor who got such a fitting finish ... was clearly meant to be Martin Sheen! LOVED IT LOVED IT! Crichton's contempt for news media talking heads and egotistical celebrities was magnificent!

Tom Clancy and Crichton were in a class by themselves, for me. Now both are gone ... both gone at too young an age. God rest and keep them!
