No disturbances. In this year, ER won eight Emmys and Crichton received an award from the Producers Guild of America in the category of outstanding multi-episodic series. "For a person like me, this is much better than an Academy Award," Crichton said of the honor.2004: Crichton’s newest thriller State of Fear is published. Set in an insanely busy an often dangerous Chicago emergency room, the fast-paced drama is defined by Crichton's now trademark use of technical expertise and insider jargon.
