Shame to hear. He's my favorite author and his newer stuff had some very good content. Jurassic Park is a great American novel, too.
just saw this on tv, i was shocked. 66 is so young. such a shame, he was responsible for some great books thats for sure.
RIP Michael Chrichton Was sad to see an article in todays newspaper about the passing of one of my favorite authors. Michael Crichton - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Died on the 4th. He was most well known for writing books such as Jurassic Park The Andromeda Strain and Shpere. Also created the hit TV show ER. I always loved how he brought relevant topics in social scientific issues to light in entertaining and insightful manners. Rest in Peace man.
