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.
2022br. Sembra un'amicizia impossibile, quella tra Vasile e Flavio. Un giovane romeno, il primo, venduto dai genitori e ora schiavo in un campo rom. Un ragazzo ricco e viziato, il secondo, figlio di imprenditori che abitano in una villa alle porte di Roma. Proprio la villa in cui Vasile ha deciso di entrare, con l'intenzione di svaligiarla. Eppure quel rapporto si cementa nel tempo, diventando una sorta di duplice apprendistato criminale: quando Flavio accetta di aiutare Vasile a vendicarsi dei suoi aguzzini provando a eliminarli, la furia dei nomadi si scaglia contro di loro e la ritorsione atroce e sanguinosa sconvolge la vita di entrambi. Costretti alla fuga dopo il barbaro massacro della famiglia di Flavio, a rifugiarsi tra i senzatetto, i barboni, i derelitti della città, i due verranno a contatto con gli ambienti più loschi della capitale. Flavio deve dire addio agli agi di un tempo. E Vasile deve imparare a fare i conti con la paura costante di essere ucciso. Il pericolo è il loro compagno di viaggio. Finché non decideranno di sfidarlo...

2022br. A capo di un giro di spaccio di una nuova e potente droga, Flavio Gambari è ormai diventato un boss della mala romana. I suoi complici formano una gang inclassificabile ma temibile: Vasile, il romeno che viene dalla schiavitù dei campi rom; Jean Luc, ex gangster marsigliese vissuto in strada per sfuggire a una vecchia faida interna alla banda delle Tre B; Marzia, la bella e spregiudicata compagna di Flavio; Felipe, che da maggiordomo e factotum è diventato il contatto con gli spacciatori d'oltreoceano. L'ascesa criminale del gruppo, però, scatena rivalità negli ambienti malavitosi della capitale. È una vera e propria guerra quella che la gang si trova a fronteggiare: sequestri, ricatti, omicidi efferati. Ed è a questo punto che l'ispettore Bruno Pelizzi comincia la sua solitaria indagine sulla nuova banda di trafficanti. E allora per Flavio i nemici da affrontare non saranno più solo dei criminali...

2022br. Scampato a una faida tra bande criminali rivali per il controllo del traffico di droga a Roma, Flavio Gambari regna ormai su un piccolo impero. Al suo fianco Marzia, la sua compagna; Vasile, il suo braccio destro, che viene dalla schiavitù dei campi nomadi, e Jean Luc, un anziano gangster marsigliese che ha guidato i suoi giovani amici nel loro apprendistato criminale. Alla minaccia a cui ormai Flavio e Vasile sono sfuggiti, si è ora sostituita un'altra, ben più preoccupante: l'ultimatum ricevuto da una gang che sta molto più in alto di quella di Flavio. La furia omicida che sta mietendo vittime in città rischia di concludersi in un bagno di sangue, senza vinti né vincitori. E nel frattempo la polizia è sulle loro tracce e sembra sul punto di porre fine alla loro inarrestabile ascesa...
