I read State of Fear not too long ago. I have loved Crichton's writing before I knew he was Crichton (The first book of his I read was A Case of Need which was published under a pseudonym while he was still practicing medicine).
State of Fear was interesting, but I in the back of my mind I have this feeling that I shouldn't have to read research to properly appreciate a novel. His plot twists, though, are really rising to the Cirque du Soleil level.
I thought Airframe was the most cool of the recent novels.
