Buch Auf die Frage, wie er denn solch ein vollendetes Meisterwerk wie den David habe schaffen können, soll Michelangelo geantwortet haben, er habe lediglich all den überflüssigen Marmor entfernen müssen. Die Frage nach Gründen für den immensen Erfolg, den Michael Crichton mit seinem Schaffen von Fiktionen hatte, lässt an diese Pointe denken. Seinen Geschichten haftet nichts an, was nicht dazu dient, die Vorstellungskraft des Publikums zu befeuern. Sein Roman GOLD bleibt dieser Maxime wieder kompromisslos treu; die markanten Figuren, die haargenau umrissenen Schauplätze, die stürmische Handlung – alles steht in dem Dienst, dem Leser ein fulminantes Abenteuer vor Augen zu führen. Dabei hält Crichton sich nicht damit auf, seinen Protagonisten Captain Charles Hunter die romantische Verwegenheit verströmen zu lasen, die von Erol Flynn bis Johnny Depp sämtlichen karibischen Piratengestalten obligatorisch um die Lippen spielt. In GOLD ist keine Zeit für Kostümgeraschel oder Edelmanntümelei, auf ihrem Weg zum fast unmöglich hochgesteckten Ziel bleibt Hunter und seiner Crew nicht mehr Luft zum Atmen als dem Leser. Der Sturmwind über der Karibik sekundiert bei einem packenden Seefahrerduell, und nur er mag wissen, wer dabei Jäger und wer Gejagter ist.
