State of Fear
by Michael Crichton
I was on a Crichton kick for a year or two there. This is a fabulous book by Crighton in which he presents scientific evidence that global warming is essentially non-existent, and the future generation will be just fine - in fact, they will be, he says, richer, happier, more abundant and taken care....
State of Fear is about eco-terrorists, and the extent to which those who have nothing but their own interests at heart twist the truth about ideas that have no basis whatsoever, in the name of something great, such as "Save the environment, save our future, save the earth for our children....!"
The story is compelling, fast-moving, full of suspense and unique characters, which Crichton does well, and even at several several hundred pages, I could not put it down until I was finished!
Thrilled and intriguing at the same time, but the eco-political theme was not one of my favorites, and I will probably not recommend it as Crichton's greatest work.
