I'm adding this to prevent someone else from making the same mistake. No, this is not a new Michael Crichton novel. Amazon doesn't mention it (although Barnes & Noble does) but this novel is the French language version of the novel, "Airframe".

If you have read "Airframe" - you probably don't need this book (unless you like reading French). If you haven't read "Airframe" - I suggest going to that book review to read more about it.

Wish I had read the reviews before I ordered this Christmas gift for my son. Why would it occur to me that it was in French?????

I bought this book together with Airframe. As it was presented in the English section and not mentioned/described as a French book, I thought it was a title I did not know. This does, of course, not take anything away from the quality of Michael Crichton's work, but it made a dent in my trust in the infallability of Amazon.com. I have enjoyed a very good service in the past, but have not had any response from the company when I pointed out their misplacement of this book in their English section.

THIS BOOK IS WRITTEN IN FRENCH
and the Note on the Amazon sales page
is so small and inconspicuous
that I missed it when ordering
so I returned it and got docked
A LOT OF MONEY
because it was my mistake
BUYER BEWARE

Very annoying. Looks completely like an English book from the description. When it showed up in French and I went through the automated process to return it (including noting on the comments that the book was in French and I don't read French)....they shipped me another French book.

Geez.
you would think they could have figured this out by now....

When I purchased this book, nowhere did it say it was written in French. I blame the French government for this. Why not, they screw everything else up. Amazon refunded my money without a problem.

I liked the book, but didn't like the fact that it was in French.
