I saw this in the bookstore the other day, and I am considering buying it. I normally do enjoy Crichton’s work, and I’m hoping this novel doesn’t disappoint. Has anyone gotten a chance to read this yet? Is it worth buying?

If you liked Andromeda Strain, Terminal Man, and/or Jurassic Park, you’ll probably like Prey, because it’s very familiar Crichton territory.
