Review:
The majority of the books reviewed in this series are technical in some respect. With the exception of "Eaters of the Dead," "Disclosure" might be considered the least technical of Crichton's corpus. However, there are a couple of points to be made. The plot is played out against the backdrop of the high tech industry.

Review:
The sequel to Jurassic Park. But a book that can stand on it's own. A well-written story of DNA research going wrong.
