Description
#1 New York Times Bestseller
“Terrifying. . . irresistibly suspenseful.” — New York Times Book Review
“Holds your attention ruthlessly from start to finish.” — Time magazine
A terrifying page–turner in classic Crichton tradition, masterfully combining the elements of a heart–pounding thriller with cutting–edge technology. The result is a tale so realistic, so scary, you won’t be able to put it down.
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…
In Prey, Michael Crichton combines scientific brilliance with relentless pacing to create an electrifying, chilling techno-thriller

Good book
5By AitWreckaIt’s like Jurassic Park, but with computers.Excellent
5By @@@SNaKE@@@Edge of your seat, believable and downright frightening in its real world potential.Pretty good book
4By gsadireadsbooksHad a good time reading this book. NTechnical but worth it.
3By Gotta read for lifeThe premise and plot were intriguing and as always Crichton is a good story teller. However I struggled at first to maintain interest because of the in depth technical explanations. If those could have been simplified and shortened it would have been a better read. That being said it was still worth the investment of time in the end.Gripping and fascinating

3By Loyal Fan TippyStarted off good. But by the time he wraps it up it feels rushed and left me with a slew of questions.
