Airframe
Three passengers are dead. Fifty-six are injured. The interior cabin is virtually destroyed but the pilot manages to land the plane… Airframe combines a realistic situation with heart-pounding suspense to keep the listener captivated until the very last word.
The Lost World
It is now six years since the secret disaster at Jurassic Park, six years since the extraordinary dream of science and imagination came to a crashing end–the dinosaurs destroyed, the park dismantled, the island indefinitely closed to the public.
There are rumors that something has survived. . . .
Timeline
In a world of unforeseen technological advances, a group of historians finds its way to the medieval past. The journey, while ground-breaking, carries the listener also into a realm of unexpected suspense and terror, twisting our most basic ideas of reality.

Fun collection, easy listen. The books were all fast-paced and although the characters weren't that exciting, the events were interesting and the topics were vast. This is a great starter collection for Michael Crichton.

So this Audio CD has three of Michael Chrichton's books Abridged on it.
Airframe: 1 Star : I'm glad this book was abridged and only three CD's. I had a hard time getting through this part. Wont be reading the full book anytime soon.
The Lost World: 5 Stars : Loved this book when I read it years ago. Will probably re-read it soon.
Timeline: 5+ Stars : Fantastic book, one of my favorites. Worth reading the whole thing again and again!

While I have not yet read Airframe, I have read both The Lost World and Timeline and very much enjoyed both of those. Each of those two novels are in my top 5 Crichton novels, right up there with Jurassic park and Congo. I have heard a lot of negative things about Airframe, but being Crichton is one of my top 3 authors, I will eventually give it a go. But if you, like me, are also a fan of his, then you could do so much worse than The Lost World or Timeline. Because I haven't read Airframe yet, I'll give this a 4/5 rating. If it was just the other two novels it would be an easy perfect 5 stars.

"Better than average from Crichton. Reviewers ding it as a poor imitation of Twain, but this trip to the medieval past has a fun mix of weird quantum physics and history."
