Book Review:
''State of Fear'' by Michael Crichton is an environmental adventure of truly global proportions. In Paris, a physicist dies after a visit from a beautiful stranger. In the jungles of Malaysia, a mysterious buyer purchases deadly technology. In Vancouver, a research submarine is hired for use in the waters off New Guinea. And in Tokyo, Professor John Kenner—an intelligence agent and environmental specialist—works to uncover an unprecedented threat to the future of the entire world.

This novel races on a roller-coaster thrill ride across the globe—from the volcanoes of Antarctica to the streets of Paris and the beaches of Los Angeles—all the while keeping the brain in high gear. It is gripping and thought-provoking, a potent blend of scientific fact and pulse-pounding action.

Crichton is at his very best in this novel. If you enjoy techno-thrillers, science fiction, or thought-provoking action novels, State of Fear is a must-read. Highly recommended!
