About this book
Drug of Choice (1970), also published as Overkill, is a 224-page John Lange thriller that followed The Venom Business in Michael Crichton's pseudonymous output. Like his other pre-1969 pulp novels, it's rougher and shorter than the researched, premise-driven fiction he'd become known for.

About Michael Crichton
Michael Crichton was an American author, physician, and filmmaker whose techno-thrillers redefined the genre by grounding speculative, often catastrophic scenarios in rigorous scientific research, most famously in Jurassic Park, which imagined the genetic resurrection of dinosaurs and became a global cultural phenomenon after Steven Spielberg's 1993 film adaptation.
