In Jurassic Park, he created a terrifying new world. Now, in
Micro, Michael Crichton reveals a universe too small to see and too
dangerous to ignore.
In a locked Honolulu office building, three men are found dead
with no sign of struggle except for the ultrafine, razor-sharp cuts
covering their bodies. The only clue left behind is a tiny bladed
robot, nearly invisible to the human eye.
In the lush forests of Oahu, groundbreaking technology has
ushered in a revolutionary era of biological prospecting. Trillions
of microorganisms, tens of thousands of bacteria species, are being
discovered; they are feeding a search for priceless drugs and
applications on a scale beyond anything previously imagined.
In Cambridge, Massachusetts, seven graduate students at the
forefront of their fields are recruited by a pioneering
microbiology start-up. Nanigen MicroTechnologies dispatches the
group to a mysterious lab in Hawaii, where they are promised access
to tools that will open a whole new scientific frontier.
But once in the Oahu rain forest, the scientists are thrust into
a hostile wilderness that reveals profound and surprising dangers
at every turn. Armed only with their knowledge of the natural
world, they find themselves prey to a technology of radical and
unbridled power. To survive, they must harness the inherent forces
of nature itself.
An instant classic, Micro pits nature against technology in
vintage Crichton fashion. Completed by visionary science writer
Richard Preston, this boundary-pushing thriller melds scientific
fact with pulse-pounding fiction to create yet another masterpiece
of sophisticated, cutting-edge entertainment.
