I got this from the bargain table at my local bookstore, and now I know why it was there. It is a lousy read. Crichton uses selective studies that agree with his position on global warming, while dismissing the overwelming amount of science to the contrary, in order to write a fiction book whose purpose seems to be to advance a political agenda rather than entertain. I had to struggle to finish it. I have been a big fan of his in the past, but this one has crushed my interest in him for the future.
