The eight books comprise unconnected tales of fiction in numerous genres and will be shopped to studios and streamers for potential film/television adaptations. Perhaps Crichton didn’t want to mix writing prescriptions and prose, but he used the John Lange pseudonym for Odds On (1966), Scratch One (1967), Easy Go (1968), Zero Cool (1969), The Venom Business (1969), Drug of Choice (1970), Grave Descend (1970) and Binary (1972).

I haven’t read any of these, but I’ve read about them and some seem interesting, especially Easy Go and The Venom Business.

Also, tangential, but I tried watching the 1972 adaptation of another early Crichton, A Case of Need, which should be right up my alley (a mystery, directed by Blake Edwards, starring James Coburn!), and found it so boring that I had to shut it off.
