Mike, Yes, not all of his books were winners. The last one didn't impress me in the least...but maybe he wasn't feeling so well by that point. My first novel was Juraissic Park. I was on a two legged flight from Oslo to San Jose, Costa Rica without a novel to read. On the first leg I read a short blurb in a news magazine about how the movie was breaking box office records so I was hoping the book was going to be for sale in Miami where I was to change planes. In fact it was. So on the leg from Miami to San Jose I tore into it only to discover that the story opens not only in Costa Rica, but in the southern tip of the Nicoya Peninsula which was exactly where I was heading!!! Probably my favorite books were Timeline and State of Fear. Timeline was a great book for both learning a little quantum physics and what is was like in southern France during the high middle ages and the beginnings of the Hundred year war between France and England. State of Fear was good for picking up on the science both for and against global warming. craig
