I wrote the original version of this on December 22, 2007. I intended it to be a fun treat for the holidays. With Michael Crichton's untimely death, it's poignant to think about what he gave us.
In 2009 I revised “A Michael Crichton Christmas” to include Pirate Latitudes. My good friend Erik and his friend Angel, with some help from their families, created a video based on it.
In 2011, I updated it to include Micro, Crichton’s posthumous novel that was completed by Richard Preston.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all!

Hello-
not per se a comment on this post. but I saw the movie RIO today- and the protagonist bookseller reminded me somewhat of you. I have never seen you, nor do i know you personally- i have just read your mails, your thoughts and perceptions...and I have an image of you...a very kind, affectionate person. And thats the sort of bookseller I saw in the movie RIO.
if you haven't seen that move- please do see the same.
