Michael Crichton Writes From the Grave

51DirsAuTjL._SS500_Look out Tupac Shakur, you’re not the only artist with posthumous works. Jurassic Park author Michael Crichton, who died a year ago this month, has a new novel out called Pirate Latitudes (available on Amazon). Apparently, this book was found, completed, on his computer after he died, but his publishers didn’t know he had written it.
