Indeed, good movie based on Eaters of the Dead.
I loved Pirate Lattitudes by Crichton, I need to delve back into his classics like The Great Train Robbery, Jurrasic Park, etc.
The Jurrasic Park book was so much better than the movie, the guns actually worked on dinosaur's not like Spielberg's ghey version. Blowing raptors up with grenade launcher was such a crazy mental image.
