Author Michael Crichton died Tuesday of cancer at the age of 66.
Best known for the movies based on his novels, the novels themselves were a satisfying dip into the pool of science fiction. Such titles as Jurassic Park, The Andromeda Strain, and Timeline have been enjoyed by many over the years. He was also the creator of the long running series ER on NBC and the screenwriter of Twister.
Can’t believe ER lasted longer than he did. Geesh.
