An instant classic in the vein of Jurassic Park, this boundary-pushing novel has all the hallmarks of Michael Crichton's greatest adventures with its combination of pulse-pounding thrills, cutting-edge technology, and extraordinary research
Three men are found dead in a locked second-floor office in Honolulu. There is no sign of struggle, though their bodies are covered in ultra-fine, razor-sharp cuts.
With no evidence, the police dismiss it as a bizarre suicide pact. But the murder weapon is still in the room, almost invisible to the human eye.
In Cambridge, Massachusetts, seven graduate students at the forefront of their fields are recruited by a pioneering microbiology start-up company. Nanigen MicroTechnologies sends them to a mysterious laboratory in Hawaii, where they are promised access to tools that will open up a whole new scientific frontier.
But this opportunity of a lifetime will teach them the true cost of existing at the cutting-edge.
The group becomes prey to a technology of radical, unimaginable power and is thrust out into the teeming rainforest.
Armed only with their knowledge of the natural world, the young scientists face a hostile wilderness that threatens danger at every turn.
To survive, they must harness the awe-inspiring creative - and destructive - forces of nature itself.
Deux mains pour une écriture
Un groupe d’étudiants en science partent pour Hawaï afin de visiter les laboratoires d’une société de recherches et finissent changés en créatures minuscules. « Micro » est un thriller scientifique dans lequel se mêlent nanotechnologie, robotique et biologie. C’est un bon suspense aux multiples rebondissements. « Micro » est en fait une collaboration de deux écrivains car ce roman n’était pas terminé lorsque Michaël Crichton est décédé. Il sera achevé par Richard Preston tout à fait dans la lignée de son auteur d’origine. Seul petit « bémol » un fin un peu trop hâtive à mon goût.
