About this product

Product Information

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'smost 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.

    Hard to put down

    I bought the book because on a blog on Telegram, a woman stated, "It could save your life". I don't know about that at all. I don't have handy access to a MRI machine and I don't do physicians/hospitals. But the book, despite the blasphemy against the Lord in verbiage and the unnecessary swearing, which was unnerving, it was compelling, hard to put down, I read it in a day. It gave me chills twice, worth the read.

    An action-mystery-scifi memoir...sort of.

    The back story: my mother accidentally packed her copy of this book in with my possessions during one of her many "my daughter is at college, I'll put her things in the basement" routines. I subsequently shuttled it around, happy to ignore it and put it on the bottom shelf of each bookshelf it has seen since. In a recent "I'll sell everything I don't need" movement of mine, I put this up for sale on Amazon as a collectible (mine's a first edition). Unfortunately, the price structure on that site means I am forced to ask for too much money for this book and will likely never sell it, especially with the glut of used copies on the market. This got me to wondering if the book was any good. It is. The book is told in the first person limited, which is refreshing in a world of omniscient ...

    Interesting.....

    I purchased this book because my boyfriend really likes the author, so Michael Crichton comes highly recommended in that vein. I wanted to get a feel for the writing without having to resort to sneaking his books out from under him. =P I'm very impressed with the writing and how the author goes about unfolding a story. This book in particular is extremely compelling. I recommend it to anyone that wants to read something different. I hope to find the other books he's written just as good, if not better.

    Nanotechnology at its Finest

    Prey is an engaging book with all of Crichton's trademarks in play: exhaustively researched science, elements of science gone "bad," good people having to figure out what's going on and how to fix it. It utterly absorbed me to the end, but I felt the ending was rather weak and detracted from the book overall (denoumont? What denoumont?). It's as if he just hit the end of what he had to stay and pop! the book stops. All in all, an entertaining read about nanotechnology (not quite what I expected given the title!), with a disappointing ending. Worth reading, but I'd recommend picking it up from the library rather than making it a permanent member of your collection.

    5 STARS Definately. Action, Suspense Great Plot & Twist

    This book has everything you would want in a "thriller" book. It's not called a "thriller" book for no reason. The plot was well planned out, and at the end has a great twist (kind of a twist). These people have to save themselves from evolving nonobots that keep mutliplying, but once their collegues get "infected" they have no one else to turn to but themselves. Time is of the essence, and you wont believe how it ends (a little sad, but nothing short of AMAZING!).
