Preston, Richard

A Novel

Very entertaining and fun read. Of course, if you’ve read one Michael Critchton book, you’ve read them all, but if you like his stuff, this book is for you! One of his better ones, I think!

Amelia Macy

It was a decent science fiction story to begin with but it just has way too many deaths as the story went along. It also gets very boring at the end, probably where Preston took over 😞

A group of graduate students accept work with a mysterious biotech company in Hawaii only to be abandoned in a treacherous wilderness when they discover their employer's dark agenda.

Eh. The ending was sweet, but the multiple deaths were annoying. It just really made me care less about the book as a whole.

Marius Masalar

Embarrassing example of what happens when good writers are paid to adapt material that isn't their own at a pace that isn't conducive to good work. Micro is rushed, messy, flat, and boring — which is a tragic set of adjectives to use for a book that draws even the slightest amount of content from Michael Crichton.

"Three men are found dead in the locked second-floor office of a Honolulu building, with no sign of struggle except for the ultrafine, razor-sharp cuts covering their bodies. Seven of America's top graduate students are invited to Hawaii by a pioneering microbiology company which promises them access to the very latest scientific discoveries. But they are walking into a death trap. Exposed to technology of unimaginable power, the group is thrown into Hawaii's teeming rainforest. To survive, they must harness the destructive force of nature itself - and escape the company's trained killers who hunt them through the hostile wilderness"--Publisher's description.

Rachel Schommer

Decent story, but just like Jurassic Park, the story itself is just hiding a much larger and more important message. Great characters, which made me feel more invested. If I didn't like the characters so much (especially Peter and Karen) I don't think I would have found the plot as enjoyable.

Les Reynolds

Really only finished this book so it would count towards my yearly goal. It read as you would expect for an unfinished book completed by a different authors. The characters were very one-dimensional, and the story didn't draw you in at all. Felt like a first draft.

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
