Customer Reviews

A fun and easy read

What was interesting about this book are some facts woven into the story that Germany was the first country to use bio Warfare. Also interesting was the enormous amount of Jewish scientists that fled to America and used their skills to invent the atom bomb and modern-day quantum physics while part of the Manhattan Project. From what I can gather around a hundred and twenty six different men. Mostly Jewish, All brilliant. The Bible says Wars will increase, The Winds of War are on the increase.

A great classic thriller that you should look for.

Although it took me a long time to find that this book was published under the pseudonym John Lange, and then it took me even more time to find the book itself, it was extremely worth it. It keeps a great pace and is better than many standard Crichton works. This book should be reprinted with the Crichton name so it wil be easy to find for everybody.

Amazing, brilliant, chrichton!

This is a great read. After exausting all of crichton's other books, finding one I haven't read was exhilarating. To make it better this novel is just as captivating and ahead of it's time as all of his more popular or well know works. Buy it just for the sake that your friends will think that you're cool.........Punk Rock!

Binary: Hard-To-Find; But Worth The Effort!

Binary, by Michael Crichton/John Lange, is extremely hard-to-find. It is and out-of-print thriller written by one of America's most prefound authors, back in the early 70's. This book was not in print long, and because of that there are not many copies. I wish these old, out-of-print novels would be re-released for the readers enjoyment. Binary is non-stop action, if you can't find the book, check out the movie, called PURSUIT, directed by none other than the auther himself, Michael Crichton. Binary is a 10++++!!!!!

Liked it

I like some of Michael Crichton's "John Lange" work better -- "The Venom Business," for example -- but this was satisfying enough. I only wish I could find more of these now very out-of-print early novels.

Very good

Some of Crichton's early work is some of his best. This is a good example. A little different from his usual science style. A crazy millionare is going to blow up San Diego and the political convention being held there
