Crichton, Crap Scientist
A decent author. "Next" is horrific; apparently at some point when writing his good books (Jurassic Park, The Andromeda Strain, some others...) he started believing the kooky science he was writing about. Does it make me a horrible person that I was actually glad that he wouldn't be writing any more books like "Next" or "State of Fear?" I don't think so.

If you think about it, a lot of his books are fear mongering against good science.
Jurassic Park against genetics.
The Andromeda Strain against microbiology.
Sphere against...well...something.
Forgot about Prey against Nanotech.
Next does seem pretty bad though, after having read the wiki.
yes
but it's OK
