I only just finished 'Next' and had just read State of Fear. Prey freaked the hell out of me when I read it. And I loved ER in the beginning.

I didn't even know he had cancer, so it was a shock when it popped up on the BBC minifeed.

RIP.

Agree, I liked the early ER and also read some of his early medical thrillers; didn't know he was ill.

Fark . . . that's what I call lowering the bar!

Just because the bloke died, doesn't make his potboiler novels worth more than a quick read on a long train trip . . .

Maybe he meant 3 of the best potboiler novels. They're pretty good page-turners.

One would hope that's what he emant, but "ever"? Again, a decent read but that's about it.
