Mr Crichton's widow and former personal assistant commissioned a ghost writer to help them with the incredible act of literary detective work, the Sunday Telegraph revealed.
The first third of 424-page Micro was written by the author himself, and it was completed by long-time fan Richard Preston, according to the newspaper.
The thriller features murderous micro-robots and revolves around nanotechnology - the study of manipulating matter on an atomic or molecular scale.
Harvard biology students are shrunk to less than an inch tall and then exposed to natural hazards such as killer bug.
Mr Preston, best known for his book The Hot Zone, the true story of an Ebola virus outbreak in Africa, was chosen by Mr Crichton's agent and publishers at HarperCollins for his background in science and bio-terror writing.
