In the jungles of Malaysia, a mysterious buyer purchases deadly cavitation technology, built to his specifications.

The novel races forward, taking the reader on a rollercoaster thrill ride, all the while keeping the brain in high gear. Gripping and thought-provoking, State of Fear is Michael Crichton at his very best.
