About the Book

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.

NEXT is a popular thriller worth serious reading."--Adelaide Advertiser "[NEXT] is a tribute to Crichton's storytelling skill...the docmentation he sprinkles throughout the narrative teases us with speculation."--Los Angeles Times "A complex and credible extension of present reality into the realm of the imagination. A highly readable novel."--South China Morning Post "A compulsively readable beach book about the dawn of the biotech revolution."--National Review "A cracking dark tale about biotechnology and transgenics. Epic in style."--Birmingham Post (UK) "A cracking pace...fast-moving plot with highly detailed research."--Sunday Telegraph (Australia) "A satirical thriller that will have bookworms glued to their armchairs."--Denver Post "As entertaining as anything he has written since Jurassic Park."--Dallas Morning News "Crichton addresses complex contemporary issues...into thrilling reads."--Newsweek "Crichton creates a series of fascinating dramatic situations that hold a reader's attention right down to the last page."--NPR (All Things Considered) "Crichton has created a series of vivid, thought-provoking morality plays, presenting key questions engendered by genetic research."--Globe and Mail (Toronto) "Crichton sets up mind-boggling scenarios.

"--Daily Telegraph (London) "NEXT is a romp and a potboiler...a blockbuster science thriller...an entertaining read."--Philadelphia Inquirer "NEXT is one of Mr. Crichton's more un-put-downable novels. Its emphasis is on excitement."--New York Times "NEXT is populated with blood-pressure-raising villains who will keep you turning the pages."--Forbes "NEXT will frighten, worry and amuse you, and keep you thinking long after its final words are read. Highly recommended."--Bookreporter.com "Provocative and entertaining."--Calgary Sun "Read this book. It's enough to scare the DNA out of you."--Baton Rouge Advocate "The writing is mentally sharp, with vignettes that make you wonder if you are reading satire or simply mild exagerration."--Houston Chronicle "Under Crichton's imaginative scrutiny, body-part theft, the extinction of blonds and transgenic experiments...all loom on the horizon."--People "Wonderful...NEXT's a regular romp."--Evening Standard (UK) "You realize what [Crichton]'s fictionalizing could be happening now, not "Next." And that's what makes it all so terrifying."--Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
