This one is getting pretty roundly panned by the critics. I don't have much interest in it, even though I'm a big Crichton fan. Sounds to me like it's more Preston than Crichton.
This pleases me to no end.
Terminal Man and Andromeda Strain are excellent places to begin. Also the movie adaptations of those and The Great Train Robbery, the latter starring Sean Connery. Also WestWorld, which was scripted...
They did make a movie out of Timeline, but not a very good one. There's a remake of Andromeda Strain playing on A&E these days that is okay -- not great, but okay.
It's an autobiography of Crichton's life from the point where he decided to abandon medicine and his worldwide travels thereafter. It's a fascinating book.
His autobiography, Travels, is also great. It gets a little "out there" at the end, but I enjoyed the book a lot.
He also has a bunch of paperback originals he wrote to put himself through med school under the pseudonyms John Lange and Jeffrey Hudson
