“36:30:42 “Stand by,” a technician said. “Coming in now.”
In the rubber floor, in the center of the curved water shields, small flashes of light appeared.
Gordon glanced at Stern. “We’ll know what happened in just a minute.”
The flashes grew brighter, and a machine began to emerge above the rubber. It was about two feet high when Gordon said, “Goddamn it! That guy is nothing but trouble.”
Stern said something, but Gordon paid no attention. He saw Baretto sitting there, propped up... against a bar, clearly dead. The machine reached full size. He saw the pistol in his hand. He knew of course what had happened. Even though Kramer had specifically warned Baretto, the son of a bitch had taken modern weapons back with him. So of course Gomez sent him back, and— A small dark object rolled out onto the floor.
“What’s that?” Stern said.

This is an amazing book. It has a fantastic use of words and is very exciting, the beginning was great and caught my full attention. I hope Michael Crichton creates a new book like this one. I am an extreme critic on books. However, this is a fabulous book.
