Harper Collins, Nov 11, 2003 - Fiction - 544 pages

In the Nevada desert, an experiment has gone horriblywrong. 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.

Every attempt to destroy it has failed.

And we are the prey.
