State of Fear by Michael Crichton

In Paris, a young physicist performs an oceanographic experiment-then dies mysteriously after a romantic tryst with a beautiful stranger. In the jungles of Malaysia, powerful hypersonic cavitation technology-capable of toppling mountains with sound-is purchased by a private interest for an unspecified purpose. In Vancouver, a businessman leases a small research submarine for use in the waters of New Guinea. In Tokyo, in Los Angeles, in Antarctica, in the Solomon Islands, an intelligence agent races to put all of the pieces together to prevent a global catastrophe.

"Michael Crichton is one of our most gifted popular novelists. A true son of Jules Verne and H. G. Wells, Crichton specializes in cutting-edge science fused with suspense . . . a master of plausible and frightening scenarios of science unloosed in the hands of the unscrupulous and the obsessed. He is a connoisseur of catastrophe."-Los Angeles Times
