Did I miss the thread or nobody talked about it? Michael Crichton passed away at the age of 66 this Tuesday November 4th. I am a big fan of him, I have been reading his books for more than thirty years. The Andromeda strain, Terminal man and more recently Jurassic Parc. TV serie ER and a lot of movies. I always loved his way to present the risks of technology to us without beeing an alarmist. He wrote such great stories, I miss him already. If you think that you don't know him, go have a look at his bibliography, I am pretty sure that most of you have already read somithing written by him. Well election night must be responsible for shadowing this event.

Claude.

He died at 66 from lung cancer. :(

I saw his ¨Travels¨ book a few times but never tried it. I guess it will be on top of my list now.

I was surprised when I read this. He was a great author whose novels I enjoyed devouring on a regular basis.
