Overview
Michael Crichton's Prey is a terrifying page-turner that masterfully combines a heart-pounding thriller with cutting-edge technology.
Deep in the Nevada desert, the Xymos Corporation has built a state-of-the-art fabrication plant, surrounded by miles and miles of nothing but cactus and coyotes. Eight people are trapped. A self-replicating swarm of predatory molecules is rapidly evolving outside the plant. Massed together, the molecules form an intelligent organism that is anything but benign. More powerful by the hour, it has targeted the eight scientists as prey. They must stop the swarm before it is too late...

Technologic advancements come at a price .
Mitch D. - 8 months agoMichael Crichton, author of "Jurassic Park" and King of the Techno-Thriller, outdid himself on this 2002 novel focusing on the development of advanced nanotechnology. Fact and fiction blend on each page thanks to Crichton's rich academic prose and sharp, human dialogue between characters who may not have humanity's best interest at heart. This book is genuinely terrifying, with scenes that have given me shivers for years, and I cannot recommend it enough.

Michael Crighton did it again
Katherine M. - 5 years 5 months agoThis was a great thriller. It incorporated elements of technology and biology to create a very terrifying and very real scenario, and it did it in such a way that the stakes kept rising. Some of the technobabble was a little hard to process, but it was easy enough just to skim it and get back to the meat of the story. If you're looking for a hard sci-fi thriller, I would definitely recommend this. I've already made a friend read it. #SpringPicks
