I know I’m really late on this, but I’m back-dating it to make it look better (hehe). Michael Crichton, 66, died on Nov. 4, 2008. He passed away after a private battle with cancer. I have not read many of his books actually I think Timeline is the only book that I have read, although I have Jurassic Park on my shelf that I intend to get to eventually.

You can click here to read one of CNN’s article on Crichton.

Okay, so I’m a little bit late. Apparently, Andrew Britton died on March 18. I recently read his book The Assassin. I enjoyed it and am upset that I will only be able to enjoy the two other books that he published before his unexpected death at the youthful age of 27. You can read about his death (again, sorry I’m so late in discovering this!) in this Raleigh Chronicle article.
