Disclosure
By Michael Crichton
As he did in Rising Sun, Crichton focuses on a topic as close as today's
newspaper headlines: sexual harassment. Tom Sanders is an up-and-coming
executive at the computer firm DigiCom. When his new boss turns out to be a
woman who is both his former lover and a business rival, Sanders determines
to be professional. But after a closed-door meeting, the woman accuses him
of sexual harassment. It's her word against his, and suddenly Sanders finds
himself caught in a nightmarish web of deceit in which he is branded as the
villian.

The Lost World
By Michael Crichton
Time for intrepid scientists to discover and observe again. Onboard this
time are the chaos and complexity theorist who almost died in Hammond's
folly, a stuck-up rich guy paleontologist, an Amazon of a large-animal
ethologist, a regular-guy engineering genius and his assistant, and two
computer whiz kids who stow away to join the adults. And, of course, there
are venal villains (three) trying to get to the salable goods first (guess
what their fate is). Crichton adroitly combines popular scientific colloquy
and ripping good, blood-and-guts (literally) action once again. If it all
seems rather predictable, remember that the pleasures of familiarity and
referentiality rank high among the rewards of popular fiction. Here such
pleasures begin with the title, plundered directly from the granddaddy of
the modern-day dinosaur romance, Arthur Conan Doyle's Lost World(1912).

Timeline
By Michael Crichton
Michael Crichton's new novel opens on the threshold of the twenty-first
century. It is a world of exploding advances on the frontiers of technology.
Information moves instantly between two points, without wires or networks.
Computers are built from single molecules. Any moment of the past can be
actualized -- and a group of historians can enter, literally, life in
fourteenth-century feudal France. Imagine the risks of such a journey. Not
since Jurassic Park has Michael Crichton given us such a magnificent
adventure. Here, he combines a science of the future -- the emerging field
of quantum technology -- with the complex realities of the medieval past.
In a heart-stopping narrative, Timeline carries us into a realm of
unexpected suspense and danger, overturning our most basic ideas of what is
possible.
