Barbara L. reviewed Three Complete Novels: The Andromeda Strain, The Terminal Man, and The Great Train Robbery on + 988 more book reviews
Years before Jurassic Park, Michael Chrichton was known as The New York Times bestselling master of the techno-thriller. The three mesmerizing super-sellers in this collection--including his first novel, The Andromeda Strain--have sold well over 4 million copies and qualify as modern classics. Perfectly plotted stories that are fantastic, unbelievable and yet, somehow, very real, these novels pull the reader into bizarre situations full of spell-binding suspense, offering three great examples of the author's genius.

NOTE: I only read The Great Train Robbery not all three books.
Well the history lesson in the introduction was boring as hell and come to find out this is a true story - I hate true stories! A very well thought out plan by Edward Pierce which he then carefully executed over a years time one step at a time. A very clever crime but a rather boring telling of the story. It didn't seem like Michael Crichton wrote this at all but then again it was written in 1974 before he got his groove on apparently.
