So when he's escorted by the US Navy out to the South Pacific he assumes a plane has crashed into the ocean. He is often called out by the FAA to help survivors of plane crashes and their families deal with the aftermath. Norman Johnson is a psychologist specialized in how stress affects group dynamics. A fun listen.Īn exciting thriller at the bottom of the sea! Scott Brick does a terrific job, nice reading. SciFi nerds will approve of considerable techno-babble detail and Crichton’s attempt at credibility. His books are slowly moving into the SciFi classic category and are must reads for anyone interested in the genre.
Author of such mega-hits as Jurassic Park, Michael Crichton died in 2008. If you like SciFi or if you like Michael Crichton, you’ll enjoy.
Not earth shattering prose, just good storytelling that will hold your attention. Sphere is a decent SciFi, written with the somewhat pedestrian style of Crichton. Albeit completely different stories, these initial fundamentals are virtually identical. Crichton even repeats the physical examinations required to handle the sea habitats of Sphere as apposed to the bio-habitat of the Andromeda Strain. A biologist, mathematician, astrophysicist, etc., in addition to Norman - the group psychologist and the lead character of Sphere, are tasked with determining what happened - and they are soon to understand, determining what exactly rests 1000 feet below the surface, since it is not an airplane.
In a plot similar to Crichton’s Andromeda Strain, written in 1969, a diverse group of scientific people are brought together to what they all believe to be a plane crash in the mid-Pacific. If you’re looking for a written duplication of the movie, this is not gonna work for you! Although trite, I’ll say "The book is better."… and Hollywood’s twist completely messes with the story. Written by Michael Crichton way back in the mid 1980s, this unabridged audiobook edition was released in 2015 and is narrated by Scott Brick - about thirteen hours of listening.
