What this book is about

A group of students are miniaturized in a Hawaii rainforest and must survive — at insect scale — while trying to find their way back. Crichton's posthumous novel (completed by Richard Preston) delivers his trademark high-concept thrills in a survivalist adventure that makes you uncomfortably aware of every beetle and drop of water.
