Michael Crichton passed away in 2008, but the prolific author’s writing career has continued on with a batch of posthumously published books–and today, his latest novel, Eruption, is finally available to buy. Eruption is a thriller novel set just before “a history-making eruption is about to destroy the Big Island of Hawaii. But a secret held for decades by the US military is far more terrifying than any volcano.” Sounds like a classic Crichton story premise to us. Best of all, you can grab the hardcover edition of Eruption at a special launch discount online. It’s available at Amazon and Target for just $19.20 (normally $32.49). Unsurprisingly, it’s the No. 1 best-selling book on launch day at Amazon (June 3).
Eruption is the fourth novel published posthumously after Crichton’s death. However, it was not solely written by Crichton, who started the manuscript shortly after completing the original Jurassic Park book. The novel was completed by James Patterson, who has co-written hundreds of books, comics, and short stories, including the long-running Alex Cross series of crime thrillers.
According to the book’s official description, Eruption was a “passion project [Crichton] had been pursuing for years, ahead of his untimely passing in 2008. Knowing how special it was, his wife, Sherri Crichton, held back his notes and the partial manuscript until she found the right author to complete it: James Patterson.”
Crichton is best known for his many sci-fi and historical fiction stories, many of which have been adapted to movies and TV series, including the aforementioned Jurassic Park, as well as The Andromeda Strain, Eaters of the Dead, Sphere, and more. You can grab all of those books, along with several other Crichton novels, for a discount at Amazon.
