Michael Crichton needs no introduction in the genre of science fiction thrillers. Jurassic Park took the world by storm in the 90s and Crichton became the master of mixing the possibilities of modern research with page-turning suspense. Next deals with genetic engineering on a more human level. In Next, Crichton brings up some provocative dilemmas dealing with the subversive topic of genetic testing and ownership. But when numerous sadly sketched characters and tangential storylines don??t resonate or connect, examining those dilemmas falls flat.
