Fans of Michael Crichton know the formula. You take a sliver of technology, let it go awry, and then send in a mixed team of experts to stop it or rescue the previous team. What you get is Jurassic Park, Andromeda Strain, Coma, Runaway, Disclosure, etc. These books are ripe to be made into movies as they are full of interesting characters and action. In the case of Lost World, the novel was written specifically to become a movie. One of Crichton's latter books was called Prey. In this 2002 novel that follows this same formula we have a bunch on nano-sized robots escaping and our hero team has to stop them. The novel 7th Sigma starts off in a world that has been ravaged by a creature similar to the one we see in Prey.
