State Of Fear by Michael Crichton (2004, Unabridged, Compact Disc)

I usually enjoy Crichton's books and this one was no exception. The basic plot is that a radical group of environmentalists are plotting several major natural disaters. It is up to the few main characters to stop them from killing off thousand of people with their plan to demonstrate the hazards of global warming. While the beginning does leave you with some unsolved murders, I found it a bit slow in getting started. Bit once Crichton gets the ball rolling it never stops. He must have had to do hours and hours of research for this book. And while you never really believe that global warming has been created from thin air, it does leave you with some questions about the media and societies general "state of fear". You will understand if you read the book, I don't want to spoil it! Great action, impeccable research, an overall terrific read!
