fantastic story. Michael Crichton has done it again. and with the help of Richard Preston, this story is a 10/10. the narration wasn't the best. it's clear. it's easy to understand. but he's very monotonic and mis pronounces some words.

excellent story, not the best performance

No way Michael Chrichton wrote this. At least not the same one who wrote Jurassic Park or Andromeda Strain. This is a terrible story, made worse by the most boring narrator ever. Do. Not. Purchase.

Silly, boring and predictable
