With James Patterson and Michael Crichton, two of publishing's most popular authors on the marquee, 'Eruption' is this summer's literary version of a blockbuster action movie.
Michael Crichton, the mega-selling author and filmmaker best known for the novel “Jurassic Park,” died of lymphoma in 2008. But a glance at his body of work suggests he has remained prolific even after his death, with a string of posthumously published novels and a sequel to his bio-thriller “The Andromeda Strain” arriving in 2019, written by Daniel H. Wilson but still bearing Crichton’s name, in big letters, on the front cover. His afterlife has been busy.
“We needed somebody to really be able to finish the story, to take it from where it had stopped and to the finish line so we could live it and breathe it.” She and her business partner tossed some names around. Then she had an idea: “What about James Patterson? I mean, if we're going to go big, let's go really big. Let's go to the top.” Patterson signed on and started doing his own research, with the help of a volcanologist.
