Essef - 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.

..'Prey' was completely outstanding. It iscarved in Crichton's trademark style of taking an emerging technology andshowing how it can run amuck in the wild. This time around he takes threeemerging technologies - genetics, distributed intelligence and nanotechnologyand brews up a terrifying tale of science gone well awry. One criticism oftenlevelled at Crichton's door has always been with regard to his characterisationplaying second fiddle to his plot. With 'Prey' the plot is so inventive and'out-there' that no character could compete. Having said that, I must add thatthis first-person narrative has very interesting protagonists, with probablyhis most well painted landscape yet.The story starts off in a most straight-forward manner, where software guruJack is living the life of a house-husband after being fired from a shadySilicon Valley firm. He suspects that his wife Julia (a high-powered computerexecutive) is having an affair. She is spending more and more time at herfirm's (Xymos Corporation) experimental fabrication plant in the barren desertof Nevada. Xymos are having a few problems with its prototype nano-device andso Jack is hired to investigate.The narrative is loaded with technical details on the three technologies, amongothers and this makes for a very enjoyable and plausible read, if you liketechno-thrillers. Crichton then pits man against the swarm of nano-particles ina time-constrained thriller, which caused me two conflicts. Firstly, I wantedto zip through the pages like a madman to reach the conclusion, but at the sametime I wanted to read slowly to absorb the concepts that 'Prey' outlined. Thenovel reminded me of three books I had read as an adolescent. It shares a greatdeal with Crichton's own 'The Andromeda Strain' in term of plot and JackFinney's 'Invasion of the body snatchers' in terms of its paranoia. It alsoreminded me subliminally of Frank Herbert's little known masterpiece 'The greenbrain' with its understanding of 'hive-minds' and distributed intelligence.It is however, totally it's own book, and for me, I'll never look at a NikonCatalogue in the same way again. Highly recommended and big on ideas as well asone of the fastest evolving plots I have ever read. It has a high scare factor.The scenes in the desert are worth the cover price alone.Worth $30 m ? - Judge for yourself as everyone's going to be talking about thisbook over Xmas.

An amazingly original story written so cleverly as always by the author. It kept me on tenderhooks from beginning to end. I gave it 4 stars for an original plot beautifully written.
