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

"I love SciFy and medical thrillers I love genetics in general. This book borders on the edge of what could go wrong with technology. It has the feel of a Black Mirror episode. "

"Fast paced read. Really enjoyed it over all, but I did find the character development to be a little shallow. Reads a little too much like the script for an action movie. "

Jason Baronette

"<strong>Instalove</strong><br/><br/>Roman and Ryleigh’s story continues in this book. This one becomes more spice but less story and I can’t believe I’m going to say this but it’s was too much of the spice. I expected a little more story. I am intrigued by Micah’s story."

"Prey takes us into the world of nanomachines and presents to us the hopes for uses as well as imaginative threats that may arise from them as they get mixed with A.I.. We take a front row seat as we follow a scientist who assisted in the creation of this technology and witness the discovery of a new life form. It does a fantastic job at explaining how evolution works, and more importantly, shows it off in a very staggeringly exaggerated manner, making this book equal parts sci-fi and biology centered. "

"Honestly i've got to reread it as i dont remember it terribly well, but il get back to you!)"

Trevor Allen

"God this had me wanting to keep turning the page and read every day. However as good as the whole book was, the ending was a bit underwhelming for me. Either way the whole book was informative and I loved how detailed this author gets into the facts behind what’s going on. "

Will Moore

"I knew I was going to love this book from the dedication. But wow I loved it even more than expected. I did accidentally spoil it for myself by reading the description of the 2nd book but that's alright. I enjoyed this book thoroughly and can't wait to jump into book 2"
