When “Jurassic Park” author Michael Crichton died from cancer in 2008, he left behind numerous unfinished projects, including a manuscript he began 20 years ago about the imminent eruption of Mauna Loa, the world's largest active volcano.
When Michael Crichton died from cancer in 2008, his wife Sherri was pregnant with their son John Michael. Sherri is now CEO of CrichtonSun and works to preserve Michael’s work and keep his legacy alive primarily for their son and Michael’s daughter Taylor. A new Crichton novel ‘Eruption,” finished by James Patterson , is now available.
At first it was very shocking when he was in the zone, but I learned to very much respect that. Like, “I’m not going anywhere. He’s not going anywhere. And I can’t wait to read the book.”CRICHTON: I still live in our home. I still have the office, which is at home. I honestly feel that he’s always in the other room writing. I really don’t ever feel disconnected to him. And our son is such the spitting image of him.
