Sad as we have lost a great talent,so many great books and great books turned into movie classics.

Godspeed man.
RIP :(

My favourite author. If I'd never read his books when I was young, I don't think I'd be interested in science, history...anything really. It sounds cheesy but I owe a lot of my personality and interests to what I learned from him. He taught me about medical science, the middle ages, quantum physics, exo-biology and so much more. He caused me to research properly the themes he addressed in his novels.

Funnily enough I finished reading Timeline for what must be the 10th time last night, and I gave a lot of thought to what I said above. Strange timing really. I can't help but think of the dying words of Andre Marek in that novel. I really hope it applies to him as well. "I have chosen a good life."

RIP Mike, from a lifelong fan.

Wow I read the title topic and didn't believe it. He's an excellent author and will be missed by millions of people.

Wow. I remember reading Jurassic Park when I was a kid and reading up not too long ago on what he's gonna do next.

RIP

That's a real shame, I enjoyed the Jurassic Park book and movie. Thanks for the good times, Michael.

Fuck. He was one of my favourite writers. The Andromeda Strain, Jurassic Park, Timeline, and Eaters of the Dead are among my favourites of his.
