Crichton's breakneck pace in this thriller about baddies trying to create "natural" disasters can't distract from the fact that it's hard to tell the good guys from the bad guys. Along about page 400, he spends 5 pages on one underlying theme of the book -- that the fear of man-made ecological disaster has replaced The Red Menace as the threat du jour (and has now largely been replaced by the terrorist menace), all to help keep the power structure in power and the masses distracted.
