If you’re looking for a written duplication of the movie, this is not gonna work for you! Although trite, I’ll say "The book is better."… and Hollywood’s twist completely messes with the story.
Written by Michael Crichton way back in the mid 1980s, this unabridged audiobook edition was released in 2015 and is narrated by Scott Brick - about thirteen hours of listening. One of my favorite Crichton novels, blending suspense, emotion, and wonder with a pervading miasma of dread hanging over everything. The Sphere, the mystery of it, is merely the catalyst around which Crichton has penned this excellent character study. It's about what people can do when they're taken to their limits. It's about how people handle stress and how they can rise to the occasion, or break beneath the strain. But that's not what the story is truly about. The answers for the story are found if you read carefully. Cricton goes a great job setting up the mystery and how it affects the characters. And that's before things start going weird. The unknown lurks around them, affecting them all as they struggle to understand just what they have discovered. It's told from the psychologist point of view and it delves into many aspects of emotional reactions and Jungian's theory of the shadow self. Can Norman keep the group functional when the discover the Sphere lurking in the heart of the craft? Crichton's Sphere is an interesting take on the first contact with aliens story. Staying in cramped quarters, surrounded by the crushing depths of the sea where a small mistake could get them all killed, the pressures are incredible.
MICHAEL CRICHTON SPHERE BOOK COVER HOW TO
A team of scientists, recommended by Norman, and a group of navy personal are tasked with uncovering what is and, if anything is alive, how to communicate with it. A craft that has been down there for at least 300 years. A thousand feet beneath the ocean, something has been found. Now, he is about to put his hypothesis to the test. He said abject terror would be the result when humans were confronted with the unknown. Once upon a time, a younger Norman, desperate for grant money, wrote a report for the government about how to handle first contact with alien intelligence. It turns out to be something far stranger.
So when he's escorted by the US Navy out to the South Pacific he assumes a plane has crashed into the ocean.
He is often called out by the FAA to help survivors of plane crashes and their families deal with the aftermath. Norman Johnson is a psychologist specialized in how stress affects group dynamics. © 1997-2014 CrichtonSun Productions All rights reserved.An exciting thriller at the bottom of the sea! A new expedition - along with Amy - is sent into the Congo where they enter a secret world, and the only way out may be through a horrifying death. But recently, her behavior has been erratic and her drawings match, with stunning accuracy, the brittle pages of a Portuguese print dating back to 1642.
In San Francisco, primatologist Peter Elliot works with Amy, a gorilla with an extraordinary vocabulary of 620 "signs," the most ever learned by a primate, and she likes to fingerpaint. Ten thousand miles away, Karen Ross, the Congo Project Supervisor, watches a gruesome video transmission of the aftermath: a camp destroyed, tents crushed and torn, equipment scattered in the mud alongside dead bodies - all motionless except for one moving image - a grainy, dark, man-shaped blur. Deep in the African rain forest, near the legendary ruins of the Lost City of Zinj, an expedition of eight American geologists is mysteriously and brutally killed in a matter of minutes.
