Le parc jurassique

The undisputed master of the high-concept thriller has written his most gripping and entertaining book yet

State of fear

At a moment when the issue of safety and death in the skies is paramount in the public mind, a lethal midair disaster aboard a commercial twin-jet airliner flying from Hong Kong to Denver triggers a pressured and frantic investigation in which the greatest casualty may be the truth.

Turbulences

In a novel set within the arena of volatile Japanese-American relations, business moguls compete for control of the international electronics industry.

Soleil Levant

Bien avant Jurassic Park, le jeune Michael Crichton, étudiant à Harvard, écrivait des romans pulp sous le nom de plume de John Lange... Jeune radiologue américain, Peter Ross aspirait simplement à passer de bonnes vacances sur la Costa Brava quand il rencontre Angela Locke sur la plage. Et le voilà aussitôt devenu la cible de gangs rivaux à la recherche d'un précieux artéfact. De Barcelone aux rues de Paris, des tours de l'Alhambra aux catacombes, Peter Ross, cet homme ordinaire, surnage dans une situation des plus désespérées. S'il ne découvre pas au plus vite un secret enfoui depuis des siècles, il risque bien d'y passer.

Zéro cool

It is 922 A.D. The refined Arab courtier Ibn Fadlan is accompanying a party of Viking warriors back to their home. He is appalled by their customs—the gratuitous sexuality of their women, their disregard for cleanliness, and their cold-blooded sacrifices. As they enter the frozen, forbidden landscape of the North—where the day’s length does not equal the night’s, where after sunset the sky burns in streaks of color—Fadlan soon discovers that he has been unwillingly enlisted to combat the terrors in the night that come to slaughter the Vikings, the monsters of the mist that devour human flesh. But just how he will do it, Fadlan has no idea.

Les Mangeurs de morts

Before seeing Jurassic World this June, read the sequel to the multimillion copy No. It is now six years since the secret disaster at Jurassic Park, six years since the extraordinary dream of science and imagination came to a crashing end - the dinosaurs destroyed, the park dismantled, the island indefinitely closed to the public.

THE LOST WORLD

The new thriller from Michael Crichton, one of the most famous authors in the world, the most exciting, anticipated publication of Christmas 2009.

 Jamaica, in 1665 a lone outpost of British power amid Spanish waters in the sunbaked Caribbean. Its capital, Port Royal, a cuthroat town of taverns, grog shops and bawdy houses - the last place imaginable from which to launch an unthinkable attack on a nearby Spanish stronghold. Yet that is exactly what renowned privateer Captain Charles Hunter plans to do, with the connivance of Charles II's ruling governor, Sir James Almont.

 The target is Matanceros, guarded by the bloodthirsty Cazalla, and considered impregnable with its gun emplacements and sheer cliffs. Hunter's crew of buccaneers must battle not only the Spanish fleet but other deadly perils - raging hurricanes, cannibal tribes, even sea monsters. But if his ragtag crew succeeds, they will make not only history . but a fortune in gold.

Pirate Latitudes

1665, la Jamaïque est une petite colonie britannique perdue au milieu des possessions de l'Empire espagnol. Port Royal, capitale de l'île, n'est pas un endroit où s'établir si l'on veut vivre centenaire: c'est un véritable coupe-gorge où se bousculent aventuriers, loups de mer, filles de mauvaise vie et autres repris de justice. Du point de vue du capitaine Edward Hunter, cependant, la vie sur l'île est riche de promesses. Il faut juste s'y entendre un peu en matière de piraterie... La rumeur circule justement qu'un navire chargé d'or est à quai dans le port voisin de Matanceros. Gouvernée par le sanguinaire Cazalla, l'un des chefs militaires favoris du roi d'Espagne, l'île est réputée imprenable. Qu'à cela ne tienne! Hunter met rapidement sur pied une équipe pour s'emparer du galion. Une femme pirate, fine gâchette dotée de la meilleure vue des Caraïbes, un ancien esclave, muet doué d'une force herculéenne, un vieillard paranoïaque expert en explosifs, et le plus remarquable barreur du Nouveau Monde seront ses compagnons de voyage...
