he was also a champion against extreme environmentalist and global warming hoax

“What a shame. RIP.”

True, very sad for his family, friends and fans. Just the thought of President Obama caused him to expire before his time.

[Red Badger]

This was a movie, also. Good book, lousy movie.......

[llevrok]

Loved his style. Reasearch a topic, foot note it, then turn it into fiction so it's a great read.

Will be missed by this subby.

[Mac from Cleveland]

Brilliant guy. Quite a loss. He was a Renaissance man.

Interesting timing-he was mighty smart about the future-probably willed himself to die after seeing the election results.

[Borges]

He’s a Chicagoan too.

[Mr. Jazzy]

What a shame!

Damn, today really sucks in so many ways.

[A knight without armor]

I enjoyed his books very much.

[wagglebee]

Godspeed to him and prayers for his family.

I always enjoyed his books, “Jurassic Park” was a little over the top, but “The Great Train Robbery” (one of his earlier books) is an old favorite of mine, as is “Timeline.”

[AbeKrieger]

I am glad I read Timeline prior to having seen the movie. Everyone else I know who just saw the movie were baffled by the speed the characters and plot were jammed down their throats.

[wagglebee]

The book was incredible, the movie sucked.

[Patrick1]

Major loss in the war against the faux religion of global warming.

[Clinton's a liar]

I absolutely adored his work.

Prayers offered, God rest him.

[ThreeYearLurker]

Great writer. Rip

[Oratam]

His novels were wake-up calls against the dangers of politicizing science. Though, unlike his characters who exposed the evil leftist plots before they could do too much damage, Crichton couldn’t stop The One. At least he’ll be spared having to live through the coming nightmare.

[abb]

Andromeda Strain was a masterpiece.

I can think of only two books that I read from start to finish without putting down. Andromeda Strain was one of them.

[Red Badger]

The book was great. It explained every detail. The directors of the movie did not read the book. They just used the title and made up stuff as they went.............

[Rastus]

Give the Great Train Robbery a read. The background information he spins out on Victorian England is really fun. I’ve read most of his works. The only one I couldn’t make it through was A Case of Need. It might have become balanced later in, but the early sympathic view for the abortionists turned me off. Despite, I was a fan and am sorry to hear this.

[thesearethetimes...]

Indeed. “Sphere”, was my favorite.

Gone from us too soon.
Prayers lifted for him, and for his family.

[visualops]

Damn!

Like today didn’t suck enough...

RIP
