Helpful Score: 2

"State of Fear" is a techno-thriller that takes on the subject of global warming. Although I don't agree with the authors's viewpoint, I was hooked by the story. Crichton does take a heavy-handed approach in using dialogue to "educate" the reader about the facts behind global warming. This became a bit much at times, however once again the story gripped me. The main characters face a race against time to stop eco-terrorists from causing irreparable harm to the planet. Don't look for in-depth characters or flowing descriptive writing, but you will find excellent dialogue and plot twists. No matter what your views are on global warming, I would still suggest this book. If you like a good thriller, Crichton won't disappoint!
