Reviews
"Yet another terrifically entertaining Crichton thriller and--thanks to Richard Preston--we're lucky to have it." -- Alan Cheuse, NPR's "All Things Considered" "Micro ranks with Crichton's blockbusters The Andromeda Strain and Jurassic Park, and Preston deserves praise for polishing the novel and making it sing." -- Associated Press "A fast-paced mix of adventure and cutting-edge science, a novel that takes us deep into a fascinating, if violent, microscale universe.... [An] edge-of-the-seat technological thriller.... It is wonderful to see Crichton's genius--the audacious mix of adventure and techno-speak that made him famous--on vivid display." -- Paul McEuen, Nature "Fantastic." -- New York Post

Synopsis
In the vein of Jurassic Park, this high conceptthriller follows a group of graduate students lured to Hawaii to work for amysterious biotech company only to find themselves cast out into the rainforest, with nothing but their scientific expertise and wits to protect them. Aninstant classic, Micro pits nature against technology in vintageCrichton fashion. Completed by visionary science writer Richard Preston, thisboundary-pushing thriller melds scientific fact with pulse-pounding fiction tocreate yet another masterpiece of sophisticated, cutting-edge entertainment.", Does this sound at all familiar? A greedy capitalist exploits a technological breakthrough that could benefit humanity. His effort to show off his work to visitors on an island ends up with them fighting for their lives against savage creatures. Preston (The Hot Zone) has completed a partial manuscript by bestseller Crichton (1942-2008) that will remind many readers of Jurassic Park, though the action takes place on a rather different scale, as the title suggests. Peter Jansen, a 23-year-old Cambridge, Mass., grad student, and his colleagues accept an invitation from his older brother, Eric, and Eric's boss to join NaniGen MicroTechnologies, a Hawaii-based concern with "tools that will define the limits of discovery for the first half of the twenty-first century." Via a scientific innovation that comes across as less plausible than recovering dinosaur DNA, NaniGen can miniaturize people. Inevitably, Peter and his companions are shrunk to a size that makes them vulnerable to lower life forms. Most of the book relates their struggle for survival, including the requisite gory deaths of some members of the party. Crichton fans will miss any sense of a larger scientific moral in what amounts to a 21st-century technological version of The Incredible Shrinking Man. Agent: Lynn Nesbit. (c) Copyright PWxyz, LLC.

    The item arrived in its described condition in sturdy packaging. The toy is smaller than I thought (I didn’t ask dimensions), but my son loves it.
