Synopsis "Micro (Pocket Thriller) (in French)"

Vin Drake, puissant directeur de la société hightech Nanigen, fabricante de robots miniaturisés, attire à Hawaii sept brillants étudiants venus de Harvard. Mais il leur a caché la véritable raison pour laquelle il a besoin d'eux, et la rencontre tourne vite à l'affrontement. Miniaturisés, abandonnés dans une forêt tropicale où le moindre insecte représente un danger mortel, les étudiants n'ont pour se défendre que leurs connaissances de biologistes. Commence alors une folle lutte pour survivre à une nature aussi cruelle que fascinante et à un Vin Drake prêt à tout pour se débarrasser de témoins gênants...

Michael Crichton (Chicago, Illinois, October 23, 1942 - Los Angeles, California, November 4, 2008) was an American writer, screenwriter, director, and film producer. Famous for his work in the genres of science fiction, suspense, and medical fiction. More than two hundred million literary copies of his works have been sold, most of them bestsellers, which have been translated into more than thirty-eight languages, and of which twelve have been made into films.

His novels often feature elements of the action genre and focus on a strong technological component. In fact, Crichton is considered the pioneer of the techno-thriller narrative genre. His novels often explore future scientific and technological advances that end in biotechnology disasters. Crichton is known for being the father of Jurassic Park and also of the prestigious TV series ER. He is the only person who has simultaneously had, in the United States, the best-selling book —Disclosure—, the number one movie at the box office —Jurassic Park—, and the television series with the highest viewership —ER—.
