I'm bored, and going through the past couple of days of news on perezhilton, and stumble across a recent news bit about Michael Crichton. Apparently he had finished a book called "Pirate Latitudes" while writing next, and the plan is to release it in November.
Another book he was a third through, but the plot was outlined in such detail, they are looking for an author to co-write and eventually release it.
