Michael Crichton picks a fight with environmentalists

You forgot "Hunt for Red October", Leo.

... And wasn't "Politika" a collaboration (meaning that somebody wrote the book and Clancy put his name on it to help sell copies)?

"Red Something"

It was a tie-in with his computer game. Dunno.

I was thinking that "Red Something" was a reference to "Red Storm Rising", the only novel he wrote that was not based in the Jack Ryan universe.

Btw, the last Clancy I read "Red Rabbit" was just shiite, that I didn't even finish and won't even dream of reading anything he writes after that. And I'm probably one of the few people who liked "Executive Orders" and "The Bear and the Dragon"

[JohnT]

I loved Executive Orders. The timeline is all wonky, but it's fun stuff!

[Imran Siddiqui]

I know a lot of left leaning people who didn't .

[JohnT]

I can't imagine that!

Environmentalists burning down Michael Chriton's house down while he says the heat is just a figment of everyone's imagination

[Ted Striker]

environmentalists != eco-terrorists

Eco-terrorists = dumbasses


Teddy Roosevelt = The founder of enviornmentalism

Actually there has been talk this week of Blair attempting to convince Bush to sign an international pollution treaty.

Whether or not global warming is real or not, limiting toxic emissions can only be a good thing.

If he is so clever why hasn't he cloned a dinosaur yet?

[notyoueither]

Although wrecking your economy to do it based on suspect science might not be such a good thing.

Jurassic Park, Lost World, and Prey were cool.

I liked Jurassic Park when I read it back in the day, but back then I also liked Tom Clancy and Anne Rice. :vomit:
