Michael Crichton died on Election Day. He was one of my favorite authors. I always appreciated how well he researched topics before writing a book about them. Evidence of his compelling stories, characters, premises, and plots lies in the number of his books that have been made into movies. Here’s the list:
The Andromeda Strain (1971)
The Terminal Man (1974)
The Great Train Robbery (1979)
Jurassic Park (1993)
Rising Sun (1993)
Disclosure (1994)
Congo (1995)
The Lost World: Jurassic Park (1997)
Sphere (1998)
The 13th Warrior (1999)
Timeline (2003)
This isn’t counting original screenplays (e.g., Westworld, Twister, and others) or materials he wrote under pseudonyms while he was a med student. Pretty impressive. The literary and film-making worlds will mourn him.
