If Michael Crichton wants me to enrich him by spending money for his hardcover "novel," he can at least give me a the kind of good story I expect from someone of his caliber. He says everyone has an ulterior motive except himself - as he laughs all the way to the bank! How much better it would have been for him to be up front and write a non-fiction book on the subject. Shame on you Mr. Crichton....you owe us.
