Also wenn du Michael Crichton etwas abgewinnen kannst, dann kann ich dir "State of Fear" empfehlen. Auszug von Amazon.com " The plot is simply breathtaking and for a long time it is not clear where it is heading and where the conflicts are. But this makes this book so incredibly suspenseful. In endless actions, twists and turns we are taken around the globe to the final showdown. The characters are flat, sometimes superhuman (Kenner, Samjong), but this is obviously intended. Each of them represents a certain typical kind of our society in the global game about our environment. In a way they are personified opinions and attitudes.Reading this book you have to be well informed and educated at the same time, this is no "read it on the beach" novel. And you have to be able to analyse critically - otherwise the author's meaning is lost on you. Crichton has been profoundly misunderstood by professional critics and amateurs alike. We should understand his book the way he points out in the appendices at the end of the book: it is a vivid appeal to all scientists to judge facts, and facts only, in an independent and neutral way. Biased and distorted scientific results that bow to lobbyists and sponsors can never be taken seriously. They manipulate the public - with the help of the mostly uncritical media - and destroy any serious discussions of problems and, as a result, their solutions." Da ich das Buch im Original gelesen habe, kann ich leider keine Aussage über die deutsche Fassung machen :/
