Michael Crichton: Two Complete Novels

This omnibus contains two excellent and controversial masterpieces of suspense. Rising Sun is a great crime mystery, and also shines light on the business tactics of the Japanese, albeit with a bit of paranoia. It may seem ironic now, since the Japanese economy is NOT what it used to be, but it is an interesting footnote and a very good novel nonetheless. In his next book, 1994's Disclosure, Crichton continues his habit of writing about the issues of the day, not some time in the future (something he has always done). It is the famous and controversial story of a man who gets sexually harrassed by a woman. Good book, his best, in my opinion. Get this excellent collection if you haven't already read these two books.

This book was both interesting and informative. It reffers to a period in time when there was great concern over the rising industrial power of Japan and their business practices. A very readable and worthwhile book.
