To the dismay of the many scientists whose work and words are blatantly distorted within its pages, Michael Crichton's new book, State of Fear, was still hanging around best-seller lists months after its debut.

Science has always taken center stage in Crichton's thrillers—The Andromeda Strain, Jurassic Park, Prey—but recently he seems to be taking himself, and his ideas, a bit more seriously. State of Fear is the next step in Crichton's transformation from storyteller to soothsayer, a novelized lecture on global warming complete with charts, graphs and footnotes.
