Michael Crichton books on the way

The AP Wire is reporting that readers can expect two more novels from the late Michael Crichton, who died of cancer last year at age 66.

HarperCollins will release Pirate Latitudes, an adventure story set in 17th-century Jamaica, this fall, and a currently untitled techno-thriller will come out in 2010. Crichton wrote about a third of it, and yet to be determined co-author will finish the book.
