Try Michael Crichton if you are into technical stuff along with good realistic science fiction. MichaelCrichton.com | What's New

Some of his books have been made into movies-- Disclosure, Terminal Man, Jurassic Park, Sphere, Timeline, The Andromedia Strain and Congo among others. He has also played a role in other films like Twister and Westworld.
