Wings, 1993
Three classic techno-thrillers in a bargain package

Searching for Steinbeck's Sea of Cortez: A Makeshift Expedition Along Baja's Desert Coast

Sasquatch Books, 2002
A good try

The Andromeda Strain
Michael Crichton
Avon, 2003
Crichton's big ticket
I actually saw the movie before I read the book. I thought the movie was really good until I read the book... Wow! Crichton's writing style is amazing and addictive! Now, when I see the movie, I still think it's good, but it pales in comparison to the book.
