In Paris, a physicist dies after performing
a laboratory experiment for a beautiful visitor.
In the jungles of Malaysia, a mysterious buyer
purchases deadly cavitation technology, built to
his specifications.
In Vancouver, a small research submarine is leased
for use in the waters off New Guinea.
And in Tokyo, an intelligence agent tries to
understand what it all means.
Thus begins Michael Crichton's exciting and provocative
techno-thriller State of Fear. Only Crichton's unique
ability to blend scientific fact with pulse-pounding
fiction could bring such disparate elements to a heart-
stopping conclusion.
This is Crichton's most wide-ranging thriller. State of
Fear takes the reader from the glaciers of Iceland to the
volcanoes of Antarctica, from the Arizona desert to the
deadly jungles of the Solomon Islands, from the streets of
Paris to the beaches of Los Angeles. The novel races
forward on a roller-coaster thrill ride, all the while
keeping the brain in high gear. Gripping and thought
provoking, State of Fear is Michael Crichton at his
very best.
