Prey

De: Michael Crichton

Narrado por: George Wilson

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.

LOVED IT!!!!!!!!!

So far, my favorite book by Michael Crichton. finished it so fast, genuinely had to force myself to pause it to go to work, I think I'll have to listen to it again. Other than his portrayal of julia, which just sounded kinda corny, the narrator did a great job. Highly recommend it!

Loved It Right From The Beginning!

Never a dull moment from the beginning to the end. Fast paced and entertaining. Not disappointed.

Very intreguing

I like to listen to my audio books at bedtime. This is not one of those books... unless you want to be awake until 4:30 in the morning. A good deal of technical information makes it incredibly plausible, it's very well written and although I have been excited by the medical advances made due to nano technology, I'm questioning again... just because we can doesn't mean we should!

Meh

It's fairly predictable, and not very suspenseful. It was good enough to finish but I would not recommend it.

Gets one thinking...

I really enjoyed the entire story, from start to finish. When Michael Crichton starts introduction, it really set the scene for the story, and George Wilson superb narration of this book...
