The fact that he creates an almost complete world within his books. Not the least of which each book is a tome, truly. I read my first when I was about 12 years old, and I remember being impressed with my self that I could sustain 500 pages or more!
The writing was always rich, rich in detail and I think that is important in an historical novel. I see Michener as basically analogous to the director Ridley Scott in that the atmosphere both create feels lived in.
