Story4.5 out of 5 stars 5
That's the question that has haunted 14-year-old Ezekiel Blast all his life. But he's not a thief, he just has a talent for finding things. Not a superpower - a micropower. Because what good is finding lost bicycles and hair scrunchies, especially when you return them to their owners and everyone thinks you must have stolen them in the first place? If only there were some way to use Ezekiel's micropower for good, to turn a curse into a blessing. His friend Beth thinks there must be, and so does a police detective investigating the disappearance of a little girl.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 251
Deep in the African rain forest, near the legendary ruins of the Lost City of Zinj, an expedition of eight American geologists are mysteriously and brutally killed in a matter of minutes. Ten thousand miles away, Karen Ross, the Congo Project Supervisor, watches a gruesome video transmission of the aftermath: a camp destroyed, tents crushed and torn, equipment scattered in the mud alongside dead bodies - all motionless except for one moving image - a grainy, dark, man-shaped blur.

What the critics say
"Michael Crichton's new, can't-put-it-down novel is a first-of-a-kind thriller - a fast-paced adventure based on the notion that a current widespread fear is baseless." ( Forbes)

Still enjoyable
Nitpicking; but some pauses in audio were too long, you can hear the narrator clicking his mouse to the next chapter/page etc.
Story is good, and the narration itself is fine, just it suffers a little from the audio quality

Amazing and well researched book
This is a classic Michael Crichton book about science gone wrong. The book brings across ideas and theories in a very blunt ways sometimes. Although the book started off slowly and takes about 4 chapters to get into it, it builds up in pace and ends amazingly.

A thoughtful and thrilling story
well researched and thought provoking Michael Crichton delivers a book that kept me entertained on long drives. the characters are human and complex with development throughout the story. The locations are diverse and rich and the details intense.

A Very Important Counter Perspective
This is an entertaining and informative examination of an ideological movement masquerading as scientific fact. Although this novel was published several years ago, I found it strikingly relevant to things going on today, possibly even more so than when it first came out. Though I'm critical of some of Crichton's ideas, and differ with some aspects of his worldview, I think he raises some significant points. This is a very important book, but the ideas inside it, if taken seriously by enough people, would threaten the power of those seeking to dominate the world right now. I think it's a wonder it hasn't been banned yet.

Unlikable/unbelieveable characters
I couldn't finish this. I found the characters unlikable and stupid. Climate change themes are endlessly discussed and very repetitive, besides being scientifically false. I really didn't like this book and decided to cut my losses and not finish it.

Hard to take seriously
This read like the author had done some research into the environment and related conspiracy theories and somehow tried to construct a story around his beliefs and assumptions. Tediously long winded, hardly made sense. Not a fan.

Holy cow is this ever awful!!!
His sanctimonious denial of climate change through this book causes intestinal cramping. This terrible novel has put me off crichton forever. I am an emergency doctor who has had to walk through the covid deniers protesting out front of my hospital whilst inside my patients die of covid. This sorry excuse for a novel induces the same sense impotent rage. I am sad that my purchase will contribute to his legacy (he died in 2008).
