Description

Three passengers are dead. Fifty-six are injured. The interior cabin virtually destroyed. But the pilot manages to land the plane. . . .

At a moment when the issue of safety and death in the skies is paramount in the public mind, a lethal midair disaster aboard a commercial twin-jet airliner bound from Hong Kong to Denver triggers a pressured and frantic investigation.

AIRFRAME is nonstop reading: the extraordinary mixture of super suspense and authentic information on a subject of compelling interest that has been a Crichton landmark since The Andromeda Strain.

Michael Crichton was born in Chicago and was graduated summa cum laude from Harvard University. At twenty-three, Crichton was a visiting lecturer in anthropology at Cambridge University, England. Upon his return to the States, Crichton began training as a doctor, and was graduated from Harvard Medical School in 1969. He paid his way through medical school by writing pseudonymous thrillers, one of which ( A Case of Need , 1968) won an Edgar Award. By the time he graduated, Crichton had already written a bestseller ( The Andromeda Strain , 1969) and sold it to Hollywood. He then pursued postgraduate studies at the Salk Institute in California before taking up writing full time.

Crichton has written ten novels -- The Andromeda Strain , 1969; The Terminal Man , 1972; The Great Train Robbery , 1975; Eaters of the Dead , 1976; Congo , 1980; Sphere , 1987; Jurassic Park , 1990; Rising Sun , 1992; Disclosure , 1994; and The Lost World , 1995 -- each of which displays an intimate knowledge of a different, specialist subject, among them primatology, neurobiology, biophysics, international economics, Nordic history and genetics. He has directed six movies, including Westworld, Coma , and The Great Train Robbery , and is the creator of the hit television series ER (which won eight emmys in 1995). He is a computer expert who wrote one of the first books about information technology ( Electronic Life , 1983); he has run a software company; he has designed a computer game called Amazon ; is a committed collector of modern art and the author of a learned study on Jasper Johns ( Jasper Johns , 1977). His other works of nonfiction include Five Patients: The Hospital Explained , 1970, and Travels , 1988. Crichton's novels have been translated into twenty-four languages; eight of his novels have been made into films, including Jurassic Park , one of the most successful films in motion picture history.

Michael Crichton is married and lives in Los Angeles.
