Default Michael Chricton - RIP

Heard on the news today that author Michael Chricton died on Nov 4. I eagerly looked forward to each of his new books.... alas, no more. Here are a few of his novels. Also, he was the creative mind/exec producer behind Television series ER.

WOW! V07 I hadn't heard this. He was a heck of story teller. I'll have to check out any of the news reports on the Internet. Thanks and sorry to hear about it.

Default Think I have read almost everything he wrote.

I have read almost all of his works except for those published the last few years and those from his earlier years under his pen name John Lange.

Default A Great Loss.

I'm so sorry to hear this. It is a great loss to the writing community. My prayers are with his family.
