MICHAEL CRICHTON
A NEW COLLECTION OF THREE NOVELS
CONGO - SPHERE - EATERS OF THE OEAD
Breathtaking suspense and cutting-edge technology - that's the mesmerizing mix Michael Crichton has mastered in thriller after page-turning thriller. Now the New York Times bestselling author serves up a new hardcover omnibus featuring three of his most electrifying adventures: Congo, Sphere and Eaters of the Dead, all more popular than ever since the release of Crichton's Jurassic Park - the movie and the book.
CONGO: Deep in the jungle, near the legendary ruins of a lost city, eight members of an expedition are brutally destroyed, leaving behind only a
grainy videotape of a blurred shape. Across the globe, Amy, an extraordinary research gorilla reveals a mysterious link to the scene of the crime. Immediately, a new field team is dispatched to the Congo, entering a secret world where the only escape may come through the grisliest death.
"An old-fashioned thriller-diller.... Ingenious, imaginative." - Los Angeles Times
SPHERE: A thousand feet below the surface of the South Pacific, a huge vessel is discovered resting on the ocean floor. A group of American scientists descends to the depths of the sea to investigate. What they find defies the imagination and mocks all attempts at logical explanation - a spaceship of phenomenal dimensions that appears to be at least three hundred years old. "A page-turner...powerful visual images and
nonstop action." - Newsweek
EATERS OF THE DEAD: In A.D. 922, Ibn Fadlan, representative of the ruler of Bagdad, embarks on a journey to the barbaric North with Buliwyf, a powerful Viking chieftain who has been summoned to save his countrymen from a dread and nameless terror. Ibn Fadlan is appalled by the Viking customs - their wanton sexuality and cold-blooded human sacrifices. But he discovers an even more horrifying truth: he must join with Buliwyf in mortal combat against the dark, hairy monsters who threaten them. "Crichton excels at storytelling." - Newsday
From futuristic fantasy to historic horror, Michael Crichton transforms fears of the unknown into moments of believable adventure and unbearable suspense.
MICHAEL CRICHTON, author of such bestselling novels as Rising Sun, Jurassic Park, The Terminal Man, The Andromeda Strain and The Great Train Robbery, is widely acclaimed as the master of technological suspense. He gained biotechnical expertise as a medical researcher after graduating from Harvard College and Harvard Medical School. Crichton is also renowned as a successful screenwriter and director.
