Michael Crichton remains one of the most popular writers in the world, best known as the author of the global phenomenon Jurassic Park.

He wrote a number of global bestsellers, including The Lost World- Jurassic Park, The Andromeda Strain, Congo, Sphere, Rising Sun, Disclosure, Airframe, and The Great Train Robbery.
