The Andromeda Strain is a 1969 techno-thriller novel by Michael Crichton documenting the efforts of a team of scientists investigating the outbreak of a deadly extraterrestrial microorganism in Arizona. …

As a science fiction reading teen, Crichton was one of my favourite authors.

His science was strong, having studied at Harvard. He started writing medical thrillers before quitting Medical school.

On February 26, 2019, Crichton’s website and HarperCollins announced the publication of The Andromeda Strain Evolution, the sequel to The Andromeda Strain, a collaboration with CrichtonSun LLC. and author Daniel H. Wilson. It was released on November 12, 2019.

Not bad. The plot is well considered. The book similar to the style of Michael Crichton. Very science heavy.

If you loved Andromeda Strain, it’s worth picking up.
