Publisher Description
In a locked office building in Honolulu, three men are found dead, with no sign of struggle except for ultrafine, razorsharp cuts covering their bodies.
In the lush rain forests of Oahu, groundbreaking technology has ushered in a revolutionary era of biological prospecting. Here seven brilliant graduate students, recruited by a pioneering microbiology start-up company, are thrust into a hostile wilderness that reveals profound and surprising dangers at every turn. Prey to a technology of radical and unbridled power—armed only with their knowledge of the natural world—they must harness the inherent forces of nature itself to survive.
Melding scientific fact with pulse-pounding fiction in vintage Michael Crichton fashion—completed by visionary science writer Richard Preston—Micro is an instant classic of sophisticated, cutting-edge entertainment.
Customer Reviews
Micro Thrills
Not quite a great Crichton novel, and not even a great Preston book... But the technology is cool, even if the characters and story are boring and predictable.
Tarnish on Crichton’s Record
This is so bad, do not purchase. A college version of ‘Hunny I shrunk the kids’ with poorly written one dimensional characters, a plot full of holes, and bluntly crammed full of entomology facts. Clearly a bare bones idea pulled from out of the trash bin of the poor deceased. What a shame to tarnish a usually good author’s name.
Micro-great sc-fi combined with actual biological facts
A great sci-fi story with non stop action. Somewhat like Jurassic Park, but on a nano scale.
I really hope Hollywood makes a movie based on this book. It will be on a par with Jurassic Park entertainment wise.
