Sphere (45)

Sphere
Michael Crichton
Read 10/21/07

An excellent Crichton book. A bit like Andormedia Strain in there is a group of people in an artificial environment to solve a problem. I generally enjoy Crichton but sometimes there is too much conflict in the story, this book had some but it was in tune with the story and not overwhelming. It is interesting as you read more from an author that certain patterns emerge.
Anyway.. without giving away this story it is a great sci-fi story.. a group of scientist are assembled to investigate something for the Navy.. no one is sure what is going on.. very mysterious.. then people start dying.. in the end there are only a few left.. will they make it? Is one of them behind the others deaths? What of the mysterious forces at work.. we will ever understand them.
This book wraps things up nicely.. leaving some to the readers imagination, but just enough information to put all the pieces together :)
