I have read and collect all the Crichton's book except the latest one 'Pirate Lattitude'. His work is very nice and contain a lot of interesting fact(don't know is real or fiction). It is sad that he had pass away. A real big lose.

'The Rising Sun' make me notice that even though US are one of the World biggest TV show maker but they didn't build or have any television brand that we know nowaday due to Japan.
