If you are bored by the usual murder mysteries or romance flicks or typical thrillers in general, it's time to pick up a techno-thriller by Michael Crichton. Personally for me, his works have always been a wonderful respite from my other serious reading. All his novels, based on thorough research, are certain to inspire awe for many of his fans. Besides the technical and research aspects, one thing I most like in his books is that sex or romance takes a backseat. Even better, it is practically non-existent in many of his works. Aha, what a relief! No formula twists and tricks either. Consequently, some plots might seem a little bland. But all in all, I assure one and all that Michael Crichton's works are engrossing reads.
Some of my favorites:
Prey - An absorbing thriller about Nano-technology, computers, robots
Sphere - A nerve-wrecking thriller about a mysterious spherical Spaceship
Congo - A captivating thriller that takes place in the rain forest Congo
State of Fear - A gripping novel on interesting and alarming aspects of Global Warming
Of Course, his Jurassic Park and The Lost World need neither introduction nor recommendation. We all have enjoyed the movies very much.
