Anyone here a Michael Crichton fan? Spyderco mentioned in his newest book "Micro"

[res1cue]

So Michael Crichton (RIP) is one of my favorite authors. And I have just now gotten to reading his latest book (incomplete and finished by Richard Preston), Micro.

In it, one of the characters carries a Spyderco knife, that he describes as "thick" and "serrated". I'm halfway done and no mention of model name yet.

It hasn't come up just once, but is a pretty key tool, multiple times in the plotline.

Kudos to Michael Crichton for understanding the value of a knife, and giving Spyderco a plug in mainstream media.

I haven't read Micro. I didn't care for Timeline, but I really liked Prey, Disclosure, and especially Airframe.

Big fan of sphere read that like ten times when i was about 12-13 and loved each time. I find it weird that hes best known for Jurassic Park when he had books like Sphere and Eaters of the Dead.

TBH, the only book of his I didn't read was Eaters of the Dead, was it good?

Loved Prey and Sphere though.

Ok, that makes it official, I need to pick this book up. I really like his work, the only one I haven't read is the great train robbery, and this one looks good. Have you finished the book? Any more context clues to help narrow down which one it is?

Loved Prey and Sphere though.

In my opinion, Eaters of the Dead is his best work.
