A highly readable novel., (Crichton) carouses through the landscape of scientific development, presenting one frightening possibility after another. Michael Crichton isn't for scaredybabies., His plot, involving a score of main characters and a dozen different strands, defies summary but is completely brilliant., Crichton creates a series of fascinating dramatic situations that hold a reader's attention right down to the last page., NEXT will frighten, worry and amuse you, and keep you thinking long after its final words are read. Highly recommended., "You realize what [Crichton]'s fictionalizing could be happening now, not "Next." And that's what makes it all so terrifying."

Synopsis
Michael Crichton, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Jurassic Park , comes an astounding, eye-opening look at the world of genetics as it's happening now, told as only Michael Crichton can tell it, with lightening fast pacing and thrilling chases. Welcome to our genetic world. Fast, furious, and out of control. This is not the world of the future--it's the world right now. Is a loved one missing some body parts? Are blondes becoming extinct? Is everyone at your dinner table of the same species? Humans and chimpanzees differ in only 400 genes; is that why an adult human being resembles a chimp fetus? And should that worry us? There's a new genetic cure for drug addiction--is it worse than the disease? We live in a time of momentous scientific leaps; a time when it's possible to sell our eggs and sperm online for thousands of dollars; test our spouses for genetic maladies and even frame someone for a genetic crime. We live in a time when one fifth of all our genes are owned by someone else, and an unsuspecting person and his family can be pursued cross-country because they happen to have certain valuable genes within their chromosomes... Devilishly clever, Next blends fact and fiction into a breathless tale of a new world where nothing is what it seems, and a set of new possibilities can open at every turn., In his brilliant new blockbuster, the "New York Times" bestselling author of "Jurassic Park" and "The Andromeda Strain" journeys into the realm of genetics: fast, furious, and out of control.
