Why read it?

1 author picked State of Fear as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

I’m a huge Michael Crichton fan, you know, the guy who wrote Jurassic Park. He actually wrote lots of other books, every one a masterpiece, but this may be my favorite (and it’s hard to pick a favorite Chrichton, I am second guessing myself as I wrote this!).

In this book, one of his longest, Crichton tackles climate change, and no, don’t roll your eyes, this is a face paced thriller that will have you struggling to discern science from fiction.
