Great example. One could easily think this was a Crichton book. But...clearly this is after death so it’s not really “Author as General Contractor”. If the two of them started their collaboration while Crichton was alive, I’d have higher expectations.

But I’d likely to have been fooled by the title had I not already known the Title author was dead. And in the case of Lovelock, I automatically bought it because I buy all of OSC's books. It was the first time one of his was sold with his name Large and collaborator small. Or first time I noticed. With Patterson, I know he deal.
