Praise for Michael Crichton:
'One of the most ingenious, inventive thriller writers around ... Prey sees him doing what he does best – taking the very latest scientific advances and showing us their potentially terrifying underbelly. Another high-concept treat ... written in consummate page-turning style' Observer
'This is Crichton on top form, preying on our fears about new technology and convincing us that we aren't half as afraid as we should be' The Times on Prey
'Mixing cutting-edge science with thrills and spills, this is classic Crichton' Daily Mirror on Prey
'A satirical black-comedy thriller... Crichton writes likes Tom Wolfe on speed... completely brilliant... Crichton's treatise on how breakthroughs in genetic science have been hijacked by science is anything but dull... top form' Daily Mail on Next
'The pages whip by. Does exactly what you want the prose in a thriller to do' Telegraph on State of Fear
