In the Nevada desert, an experiment has gone horribly wrong. A cloud of nanoparticles -- micro-robots -- has escaped from the laboratory. This cloud is self-sustaining and self-reproducing. It is intelligent and learns from experience. For all practical purposes, it is alive.

It has been programmed as a predator. It is evolving swiftly, becoming more deadly with each passing hour.

Every attempt to destroy it has failed.

And we are the prey. --back cover

As usual with Crichton books the action is fast paced and entertaining, however I really struggled with the tech premise in this one. I already raised an eyebrow at the pointless examples of "code" included in the book which don't bring anything to the story, but half way trough I really struggled to keep the suspension of disbelief. The writing was still enjoyable enough I guess, but by the end I just wanted to be done with it.
