I read another of the few Crichton books that I hadn't gotten around to yet: "Dragon Teeth." It was a fun western adventure story, I really liked it. It was written in 1974 and only published last year. I don't get why Crichton didn't publish it during his lifetime....it was just as much of a can't-put-it-down'er as any of his books. And like so many of his books, it has the feel of a blockbuster adventure movie (an Indiana Jones type movie). I think that with a lot of these authors, once they get a taste of movie-rights dollars, they start writing their books specifically to be something that would adapt well to a movie (Crichton's 1969 book Andromeda Strain got made into a movie in 1971).
