À propos de cet audio

The undisputed master of the techno-thriller has written his most riveting, and entertaining, book yet.

Once again Michael Crichton gives us his trademark combination of pause-resistant suspense, cutting-edge technology, and extraordinary research. State of Fear is a superb blend of edge-of-your-seat suspense and thought provoking commentary on how information is manipulated in the modern world. From the streets of Paris, to the glaciers of Antarctica, to the exotic and dangerous Solomon Islands, State of Fear takes the listener on a rollercoaster thrill ride, all the while keeping the brain in high gear.

Ce que les critiques en disent

" State of Fear is one of Crichton's best because it's as hard to pigeonhole as greenhouse gas but certainly heats up the room." ( Entertainment Weekly)
"Michael Crichton's new, can't-put-it-down novel is a first-of-a-kind thriller - a fast-paced adventure based on the notion that a current widespread fear is baseless." ( Forbes)

Nitpicking; but some pauses in audio were too long, you can hear the narrator clicking his mouse to the next chapter/page etc.

Story is good, and the narration itself is fine, just it suffers a little from the audio quality

Still enjoyable

This is a classic Michael Crichton book about science gone wrong. The book brings across ideas and theories in a very blunt ways sometimes. Although the book started off slowly and takes about 4 chapters to get into it, it builds up in pace and ends amazingly.

Amazing and well researched book

well researched and thought provoking Michael Crichton delivers a book that kept me entertained on long drives. the characters are human and complex with development throughout the story. The locations are diverse and rich and the details intense.

This is an entertaining and informative examination of an ideological movement masquerading as scientific fact. Although this novel was published several years ago, I found it strikingly relevant to things going on today, possibly even more so than when it first came out. Though I'm critical of some of Crichton's ideas, and differ with some aspects of his worldview, I think he raises some significant points. This is a very important book, but the ideas inside it, if taken seriously by enough people, would threaten the power of those seeking to dominate the world right now. I think it's a wonder it hasn't been banned yet.

A Very Important Counter Perspective

I couldn't finish this. I found the characters unlikable and stupid. Climate change themes are endlessly discussed and very repetitive, besides being scientifically false. I really didn't like this book and decided to cut my losses and not finish it.

This read like the author had done some research into the environment and related conspiracy theories and somehow tried to construct a story around his beliefs and assumptions. Tediously long winded, hardly made sense. Not a fan.

Hard to take seriously

This was written by a climate change denier and is just full of the dumbest ideas. And it's boring. From the guy who wrote Jurassic Park, here I'm listening to a story about a climate change lawsuit? Holy hell, what a turd.

Don't waste your time.

Waste of time

His sanctimonious denial of climate change through this book causes intestinal cramping. This terrible novel has put me off crichton forever. I am an emergency doctor who has had to walk through the covid deniers protesting out front of my hospital whilst inside my patients die of covid. This sorry excuse for a novel induces the same sense impotent rage. I am sad that my purchase will contribute to his legacy (he died in 2008).

Holy cow is this ever awful!!!
