2018br. A Parigi un fisico viene assassinato dopo aver eseguito un esperimento per una bella visitatrice. Nella giungla della Malesia, un misterioso imprenditore fa costruire un impianto di cavitazione dalle caratteristiche molto particolari. A Vancouver una fantomatica società affitta un mini-sommergibile da utilizzare nelle acque della Nuova Guinea. E a Tokyo un agente segreto cerca di capire che cosa significa tutto questo. Così inizia "Stato di paura", il romanzo più ambizioso di Michael Crichton. Dai ghiacciai islandesi ai vulcani dell'Antartide, dal deserto dell'Arizona alle giungle impenetrabili delle Isole Salomone, dalle strade di Parigi alle spiagge della California, in un incalzare di colpi di scena e di invenzioni che lasciano il lettore senza fiato, "Stato di paura" affronta temi controversi, dalla preoccupazione per l'effetto serra al ruolo dell'informazione nella società contemporanea, ma soprattutto s'interroga sulle cose in cui crediamo, e sul perché ci crediamo.
2016br. Il sole infuocato si spegne nel mare dietro le mura dell'antico borgo medievale di Tossa de Mar, in Costa Brava. Le mani strette intorno a un drink ghiacciato, Peter Ross, giovane e brillante radiologo americano, incrocia lo sguardo di un'affascinante straniera. Le donne sono sempre state il suo punto debole. Ma questa volta, cedere a quella che inizialmente sembra soltanto una richiesta stravagante rischia di essere il più grande errore della sua vita. In poche ore Peter si trova catapultato dal caldo assolato della spiaggia al freddo gelido di una sala per autopsie, minacciato da tre uomini in abito scuro appena sbarcati da un volo proveniente dagli Stati Uniti. Peter non è abilitato a effettuare un'autopsia, sa a mala pena da dove cominciare. Ma a loro non importa: vogliono solo che lui nasconda qualcosa all'interno di un cadavere. Qualcosa di prezioso. Qualcosa per cui sono disposti a uccidere. E non sono gli unici. Appena terminata l'operazione, Peter si trova al centro di una spietata resa dei conti tra bande rivali, una corsa a perdifiato dalle torri moresche dell'Alhambra di Granada ai vicoli bagnati dalla pioggia di Parigi. Solo, nemmeno consapevole di ciò che ha appena fatto, Peter deve far affidamento su tutte le proprie risorse per fronteggiare la minaccia di un pericoloso scienziato, disposto a tutto per recuperare l'oggetto nascosto nel cadavere. Perché quell'oggetto permette di evocare un potere antico e terribile, qualcosa che può cambiare per sempre i destini del mondo...

2017br. Nel 1979 un terribile tornado devasta la città di Wichita Falls, in Texas. Molti morti, moltissimi senzatetto e un bambino di nove anni che lotta per riemergere dal coma. Il suo nome è Todd Willis e quando quattro anni dopo si risveglia, trova ad attenderlo un mondo diverso, simile a quello vissuto prima del tornado ma inquietante in un modo che non riesce a spiegarsi. La nuova vita di Todd diventa una lotta per separare i fatti dalla fantasia, il sonno dalle allucinazioni. Gli amici che conosce nel 1983, affascinati e incantati dalla sua esperienza, sono allo stesso tempo spaventati dal suo complesso rapporto con la realtà. "Un'estate da ragazzi" è la storia di cinque amici che diventano inseparabili fino all'estate cruciale in cui ognuno di loro scopre il senso dell'amore, la ferocia del tradimento e tutti insieme condividono un segreto che giurano di seppellire per sempre. Venticinque anni dopo, il buio riaggredisce Wichita Falls e i cinque amici devono tornare alle ferite del passato, ai mostri, ai tormenti, al timore di quell'estate lontana. Un thriller allucinato e metafisico. Un commovente romanzo di formazione.
