I feel saddened by the death of Michael Crichton. Is it the selfish thought that I would not see another well-researched book intertwined with his fine imagination again? (well, after the one scheduled for release in May 09). It may well be the case.
Nevertheless, here is my tribute to a fertile mind – thank you for all those hours you transported me to another world – a high-paced, adventure filled world in which I would never belong , but one to which I can escape in the confines of my mind.

Thanks for wonderful novels Crichton! We will miss your novels much!
