He wrote novels while attending Harvard University and Harvard Medical School to help pay the tuition. One of these, The Andromeda Strain, which was published in 1969, became a bestseller. After mostra altro graduating summa cum laude, he was a postdoctoral fellow at the Salk Institute in California before becoming a full-time writer and film director. His carefully researched novels included Eaters of the Dead, The Terminal Man, The Great Train Robbery, Congo, Sphere, Jurassic Park, Rising Sun, Disclosure, The Lost World, Airframe, and Micro. He also wrote non-fiction works including Five Patients: The Hospital Explained, Jasper Johns, and Travels. In the late 1960s, he also wrote under the pen names Jeffrey Hudson and John Lange.

Greene chiede consiglio ad un avvocato dell'ospedale sul caso di una sua paziente incinta, deceduta per una sua errata diagnosi. Contrariamente a quanto vorrebbe l'avvocato, Greene insiste per portare il caso in giudizio e tentare di vincere in tribunale. Intanto un uomo che assomiglia in tutto e per tutto a Babbo Natale arriva al pronto soccorso con una ferita alla mano. (fonte: movieplayer.it)

Andromeda di Michael Crichton

Letto già tanti anni fa, appena uscito.
Dal punto di vista della tecnica, scientifico, ci si accorge che sono passati tanti anni, ma per il resto rimane un bel libro, pieno di tensione e patos

Punto critico di Michael Crichton

Abbandonato dopo diversi tentativi di portarlo alla fine. l'autore si dilunga troppo sui dettagli tecnici relativi al funzionamento del velivolo. Il lettore continuamente spera che la situazione si "sbrogli" e che qualche colpo di scena ravvivi un po' la situazione...invece pagine e pagine di noiosissime indagini....
