Summary
#1 New York Times bestselling author Michael Crichton delivers an edge-of-your-seat thrill ride mixing cutting edge science and action-packed adventure in State of Fear.
In Paris, a physicist dies after performing a laboratory experiment for a beautiful visitor.
In the jungles of Malaysia, a mysterious buyer purchases deadly cavitation technology, built to his specifications.
In Vancouver, a small research submarine is leased for use in the waters off New Guinea.
And in Tokyo, an intelligence agent tries to understand what it all means.
A deftly-crafted novel, in true Crichton style, State of Fear is an exciting, stunning tale that not only entertains and educates, but will make you think.
The main characters jeopardy became farcical, not least for recovery time and the denouement at the end I found deeply unsatisfactory. To be honest, this type of fiction is done INFINITELY better by others! Tom Clancy being one.
As to the narrator, I found his performance unengaging and lacklustre. His pace and tone rarely varied so there was little engagement in the moment.
This was a HARD listen and frankly, I only persevered because I wanted to be fair to the friend who suggested it. I will NOT be listening or, reading to any more of this authors' or narrators' work that's for sure.
Sadly, I really cannot recommend this to anyone.
