Crichton disses Greenpeace?

Here's an excerpt from Publishers Weekly's review of Michael Crichton's "State of Fear."

Certainly one of the more unusual novels of the year for its high-level mix of education and entertainment, with a decidedly daring contrarian take, this take-no-prisoners consideration of environmentalism wrapped in extravagantly enjoyable pages is one of the most memorable novels of the year and is bound to be a #1 bestseller.

We'll be discussing Crichton's take on environmental activism and his proposition that an obsession with being "safe" makes it easier for those with a totalitarian bent to prosper at our Rhyme and Reason event on Saturday, Dec. 18, at 6 p.m.

Bone up and be ready for a spirited debate. And if you haven't bought the book, I know a place where you can get it without breaking the bank.
