The articles on the Internet emphasize The Andromeda Strain as the novel that invented the techno-thriller, the amazing success of Jurassic Park, the longevity of ER, and the controversy surrounding State of Fear.
For me, Crichton is high on my list of authors because of Disclosure, which I would rank among the all-time great page-turners.
The last time I re-read Disclosure, it didn't feel as revolutionary as when I first read it, but I think it's because every thriller written since (including the Great American pro wrestling novel) by necessity must co-opt some of the plot devices he used to such effect in that novel.
