Sphere Audio Book Summary:

 

Sphere showcases what makes Michael Crichton one of the best when it comes to crafting suspenseful and riveting tales of science gone awry but manages to keep it realistic which further adds to the overall dread. Sphere centers on the tale of a group of American scientists who travel down to the dark abyss of the ocean floor to investigate an alien ship. What they discover is something else entirely that will shake them to their very core.

Crichton once again shows us why he is the master of realistic science fiction tales. Everything in the story is based around real technology and the fact that it challenges our views of our existence further pushes it to be more than just your average extra terrestrial tale. See a true master at work in a field that he has developed over the years.

Sphere is an intense science fiction tale from the mind that brought us State of Fear and Jurassic Park and further cements his place as one of the best science fiction writers of today. Sphere has been adapted into the silver screen and starred Dustin Hoffman, Sharon Stone and Samuel L. Jackson.

Reactions:

 
“Pace, as always is good. More a rollicking adventure than “something to think about” (typical of later novels) and quite enjoyable on that level. It’s the kind of novel you’ll tear through in a weekend at most. And that’s a good thing.” – Derek Armstrong

“Interesting, but too physiological.” – M.A. Rivera

“The movie adaptation takes significant liberties with the original story, so I would urge you not to let the movies failings prevent you from immersing yourself in this eminently readable novel.” – Daniel Jolley

“Ultimately, SPHERE is popcorn: we’ve all had it before and you can’t make a truly satisfying meal of it. But it is tremendously enjoyable all the same, and where SPHERE is is concerned… well, you’ll eat every kernel in the bowl.” – Gary F. Taylor
