Next

A terrifying page-turner from the bestselling author of Jurassic Park. In classic Crichton tradition, Next blends fact and fiction into a breathless new world where nothing is what it seems and a set of new possibilities can open at every turn. Is a loved one missing some body parts? Are blondes becoming extinct? Has a human already cross-bred with a monkey? We live in a genetic world. Fast, frightening - and potentially very lucrative. There are designer pets; a genetic cure for drug addiction; a booming market in eggs and sperm. But is there also a talking ape in Borneo? Has a 'master' gene for controlling others been found? Could an innocent man and his family be hunted cross-country because they happen to have certain valuable genes!? Are you ready for what comes NEXT in Michael Crichton's stunning new thriller?
