322 61eb1632-8986-4cc6-93e0-763cb2fc6460 Jurassic Park: A Novel Michael Crichton calibre (3.32.0) [https://calibre-ebook.com] 2012-05-14T05:00:00+00:00 <div>From the author of Timeline, Sphere, and Congo, this is the classic thriller of science run amok that took the world by storm. <hr>#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER <hr>“Wonderful . . . powerful.”—*The Washington Post Book World* An astonishing technique for recovering and cloning dinosaur DNA has been discovered. Now humankind’s most thrilling fantasies have come true. Creatures extinct for eons roam Jurassic Park with their awesome presence and profound mystery, and all the world can visit them—for a price. Until something goes wrong. . . . In Jurassic Park, Michael Crichton taps all his mesmerizing talent and scientific brilliance to create his most electrifying technothriller. “Frighteningly real . . . compelling . . . It’ll keep you riveted.”*—The Detroit News* “Crichton’s dinosaurs are genuinely frightening.”*—Chicago Sun-Times* <hr>“Full of suspense.”—*The New York Times Book Review*<h3>Amazon.com Review</h3>Unless your species evolved sometime after 1993 when Jurassic Park hit theaters, you're no doubt familiar with this dinosaur-bites-man disaster tale set on an island theme park gone terribly wrong. But if Speilberg's amped-up CGI creation left you longing for more scientific background and ... well, character development, check out the original Michael Crichton novel. Although not his best book (get ahold of sci-fi classic The Andromeda Strain for that), Jurassic Park fills out the film version's kinetic story line with additional scenes, dialogue, and explanations while still maintaining Crichton's trademark thrills-'n'-chills pacing. As ever, the book really is better than the movie. --Paul Hughes<h3>From Publishers Weekly</h3>Bioengineers clone 15 species of dinosaurs and establish an island preserve where tourists can view the large reptiles; chaos ensues when a rival genetics firm attempts to steal frozen dinosaur embryos, and it's up to two kids, a safari guide and a paleontologist to set things right. PW called this, "A scary, creepy, mesmerizing technothriller with teeth."
