Crichton takes on Global Warming. He mixes fact with fiction in this thrilling adventure that takes him from one end of the world to the other chasing enviro-terrorists all the while enlightning his obtuse, if well-meaning, super-liberal buddy. Crichton did his research in this book explaining how the Global Warming "crisis" is all for political gain.

I really loved Jurassic Park, Andromeda Strain and Prey, so I thought I'd love this. Wow, was I wrong. This book was terrible!! First off, it was just plain boring. Crichton seems to be writing an editorial against global warming rather than a novel. I don't want to read page after page of his opinions on science, I want to read a story. Plus the characters were cardboard cutouts of people and weren't interesting. They were just stock characters, stereotypes with no depth at all and weren't even likable. The book was just plain awful. I couldn't get through it. This was one of the most disappointing books I have ever attempted to read. I hated this so much, I may never pick up a Crichton book again. I want my money back!

One of Crichton's more 'explantion-y' books. Still very good

I enjoyed this eco-terrorist suspense story. However, at times, it seemed that there was too much environmental "preaching" in the story. But, despite that, it was a fun book.

I didn't get very far reading this, because I was turned off by how far-fetched the science was. Since then, I have heard a lot about how irresponsible many experts find the science in this book. So I'd say, Enjoy it, but don't let it convince you that global warming isn't real!

So much for global warming. A very mesmerizing account of the fallacies concerning the myth of global warming. Read it and try to still beleive in what the media is feeding you.

Great story -- typically Crichton -- also very relevant since the storyline is based on the current Global Warming crisis. One of his best. Book is in excellent shape -- only read once -- even the dust jacket is intact.

Good story and well-written, quite the page-turner. Also, good follow-through with ending that ties everything up better than some of his other books. May change your entire outlook on the environment, or at least make you re-examine your stance on it.

Excellent classic Crichton.

A brilliant and thrilling fictional account of what harm the current global warming hysteria could wreak if its proponents were to have their way.

It was a very interesting book. Crichton used a lot of actual information to really make you think as the story unwinds. It was an enjoyable read.

Very informative, and resourceful. Gives a down to earth prespective of the global warming scenerio.

Modern thriller for Global warming fans.

Good book. Crichton at his best. Great plot.

Actually this is my wife's book. She says it's typical Crichton stuff. That means she liked it.

Techno -thriller. From the glaciers of Icelend to the volcanoes of Antarctica, from the Arizona desert to the deadly jungles of the Solomon Islands, from the streets of Paris to the beaches of Los Angeles. The novel races forward on a roller-coaster thrill ride, all the while keeping the brain in high gear.

The latest techno-thriller from Crichton from the glaciers of Iceland to the volcanos of Antarctia,from the Arizona desert to the deadly jungles of the Soloman Islands. A rollercoaster of a thrill ride!
