Description
Michael Crichton's State of Fear is a gripping techno-thriller that brings together disparate elements in a heart-stopping conclusion. A physicist's laboratory experiment in Paris ends in death, while a mysterious buyer purchases deadly cavitation technology in Malaysia. In Vancouver, a research submarine is leased for use in the waters of New Guinea, and in Tokyo, an intelligence agent tries to understand the significance of these events. As the story unfolds, Crichton takes the reader on a roller-coaster ride, spanning from the glaciers of Iceland to the volcanoes of Antarctica, and from the Arizona desert to the deadly jungles of the Solomon Islands. The novel's unique blend of scientific fact and pulse-pounding fiction makes it a thrilling pacey read. With its wide-ranging scope and thought-provoking themes, State of Fear is a gripping read that will keep your brain in high gear. Michael Crichton's mastery of the genre is on full display, making this one of his most entertaining books yet.
