Prey Summary

Prey by Michael Crichton

From the Number One international bestselling author of Jurassic Park comes this classic Crichton page-turner, weaving together heart-pounding thrills with cutting-edge technology.

In California, odd things are happening to unemployed scientist Jack Forman. His children tell Jack that strange men have visited the house. And Julia, his wife, isn't helping - she acts, even looks, somehow different.

Deep in the Nevada desert, in the laboratory where Julia works, things are out of control. A swarm of rogue microbots, designed to reproduce and learn, is developing with a frightening speed that has the scientists battling to contain it.

Only when Jack is called in to help does he discover the shocking truth - the microbots have been programmed to behave as predators.

And Man is the prey...

Prey Reviews

'One of the most ingenious, inventive thriller writers around ... 'Prey' sees him doing what he does best - taking the very latest scientific advances and showing us their potentially terrifying underbelly. Another high-concept treat ... written in consummate page-turning style ... fascinating.' Observer

'This is Crichton on top form, preying on our fears about new technology and convincing us that we aren't half as afraid as we should be.' The Times

'Mixing cutting-edge science with thrills and spills, this is classic Crichton.' Daily Mirror

'Reading Crichton is like taking a speed-reading course, your eyes flying across the page because you're completely gripped and desperate to know what's going to happen next.' Time Out

'Having written about dinosaurs in Jurassic Park, Crichton has gone to the other extreme by casting micro-robots as his latest villains...the race to combat the deadly swarm, which reminded me strongly of his first novel The Andromeda Strain, is as gripping as anything he's ever done'
Mail on Sunday

'Riveting, masterly entertainment' Evening Standard

'Very good' Daily Telegraph
