Even Though Michael Crichton Is Dead, It Doesn't Mean He Can't Still Be Publishing Books


Micro is coming even though he only had written a 1/3 of it before he died.

From an article in the USA Today...

Publisher HarperCollins has announced that a new novel from Jurassic Park author Michael Crichton with help by Richard Preston will be out in November. The publisher describes the posthumous Micro as "a high concept thriller in the vein of Jurassic Park."

Crichton, who died in 2008 after a battle with cancer, had written one-third of Micro, a thriller about a biotech company in Hawaii and graduate students who end up stranded in a rain forest. Preston, known for his best-selling nonfiction work about the Ebola virus, The Hot Zone, turned to the late author's outline, reference materials and notes to complete the book.
