Michael Crichton's State of Fear

Posted on August 18, 2004

For those that can't wait until the next Michael Crichton book comes out, hope is on the way. HarperCollins has announced the publication of State of Fear, the new novel by the bestselling author. The one-day laydown is December 7, 2004. This is Crichton's first novel since the New York Times #1 bestseller Prey, which was released in November 2002.

But what is the book about? Speculation is running rampant among fans: terrorist plot? Bioweapons? Aliens? Global warming? Mum's the word, so far. State of Fear will be published in hardcover, audio, large print and ebook formats simultaneously around the world in the English language. The announced first printing is 2 million copies.
