Product Description

 
In the Nevada desert, an experiment has gone horribly wrong. A cloud of nanoparticles (micro-robots) has escaped from the laboratory. This cloud is self-sustaining and self-reproducing. It is intelligent and learns from experience. For all practical purposes, it is alive.

It has been programmed as a predator. It is evolving swiftly, becoming more deadly with each passing hour.

Every attempt to destroy it has failed.

And we are the prey.

As fresh as today's headlines, Michael Crichton's most compelling novel yet tells the story of a mechanical plague and the desperate efforts of a handful of scientists to stop it. Drawing on up-to-the-minute scientific fact, Prey takes us into the emerging realms of nanotechnology and artificial distributed intelligence in a story of breathtaking suspense.

Prey is a novel you can't put down.

Because time is running out.

Prey

Date of Review:  Feb 25, 2004
The Bottom Line: If you like a good thriller and/or like Crichton books, pick this one up.
Review: My husband picked this book up for me to read. Since I did read and like The Lost World, he figured I would enjoy this Michael Crichton book.

Crichton likes to play on the what I like to call, the what if scenario with science. Things that...

I Was Preyed Upon!

Date of Review:  Jan 16, 2003
The Bottom Line: A good book, but not for everyone. Highly technical, the science may be dry for some. Some plot holes. Overall an enjoyable read.
Review: I used to LOVE Michael Crichton books, but he fell out of my favor with his most recent novels. Prey, which focuses on nanotechnology and computer programming, sounded like it might be getting back to earlier Crichton, back to the types of stories I...

Crichton's Prey Is Perfectly Ordinary

Date of Review:  Dec 27, 2004
The Bottom Line: An average book by a better than average author, Prey is a movie script masquerading as a novel. But it's fine for light reading.
Review:

Michael Crichton takes on yet another emerging science in Prey, his novel warning of the dangers of nanotechnology. Like other Crichton novels, the antagonists radically change to form a threat, the protagonists are unlikely heroes and the...

Details
Audio - Audio Cassette, Prey
Deep in the Nevada desert, the Xymos Corporation has built a state-of-the-art fabrication plant, surrounded by nothing for miles. Inside, eight people are trapped because outside, waiting for them, is a predatory swarm of micro-particles that they themselves created. Once again, Crichton combines up-to-the-minute science with relentless pacing to create an electrifying techno-thriller. Abridged. Best of the Best.
