To uncover the secrets of a superdrug, a doctor must go undercover and risk it all . . . When a Hell's Angel is thrown from his bike at 110 miles per hour, he should probably end up in the morgue. But this Angel survives his crash without a scratch, and ends up sleeping peacefully in the hospital. When Dr. Roger Clark inspects him, he finds only one defect: blue urine. Similar reports start to trickle in from hospitals upstate. It seems that a strange new drug is sending people into comas, and only Clark can unravel its mystery. His search for answers takes him on the strangest trip of his life, into a place called "Eden," which looks like paradise, but feels like hell. This ebook features an illustrated biography of Michael Crichton including rare images from the author's estate.… (más)

A Thriller

Even at a young age, Michael Crichton presented the world with engaging, exciting novels.
It's interesting to watch his progression from "John Lange" to his later body of works.
Drug of Choice is nicely put together, his characters are very believable. The scenario of corporations taking over the world by drugging people is actually scary in its predictions.
I highly recommend this book. (

Now young writer Michael Crichton is a five-star book writer. "5-Stars--The book accomplished all of its storytelling goals and more, WOW" Drug of Choice took me on such a ride that I did not care about character development. This book is like, well, a Michael Crichton book. It's even better than some of his later work because it's not weighed down in a lot of scientific detail. It's run, run, run! Great job. Bravo! (

An early Crichton thriller. Not as good as his later books. (

This one started out pretty good. A doctor notices some bizarre side effects in a couple of his patients, determines there's some kind of new drug out there, and investigates. The trail leads to a shady corporation running a mysterious resort on a secret island. In the second half it seems to lose focus, however. Turns out none of that stuff is really the point of the mystery. Still, it was never boring, and I plan to continue with these Crichton/Lange books. (

I liked this book. Mr. Lange shows that you don't need to have over the top dramatics or lots of violence to produce a good book. Although, I did feel like the intensity level was only turned half way. There could have been a bit of a bigger punch. However, considering the time period when this book was written, it is appropriate for that time period.

Dr. Clark shows that curiosity can almost kill the cat. He found himself in over his head. The scariest thing about this book is the experiments that were taking place on the island. What with all of the "fad" diets and such that people are joining; I can see some people signing up to be part of the experiment. Drug of Choice is worth your choice for something to read. (
