"I love anything Michael Crichton writes."—Stephen King
A military space probe, sent to collect extraterrestrial organisms from the upper atmosphere, is knocked out of orbit and falls to Earth. Twelve miles from the crash site, an inexplicable and deadly phenomenon terrorizes the residents of a sleepy desert town in Arizona, leaving only two survivors: an elderly addict and a newborn infant.
The United States government is forced to mobilize Project Wildfire, a top-secret emergency response protocol. Four of the nation’s most elite biophysicists are summoned to a clandestine underground laboratory located five stories beneath the desert and fitted with an automated atomic self-destruction mechanism for cases of irremediable contamination. Under conditions of total news blackout and the utmost urgency, the scientists race to understand and contain the crisis. But the Andromeda Strain proves different from anything they’ve ever seen—and what they don’t know could not only hurt them, but lead to unprecedented worldwide catastrophe.

• Reread • Ich habe das Buch schon vor 2 Jahren das erste Mal gelesen und fand es da schon mega gut. Auch jetzt hat sich das nicht geändert. :) Ich mag die Abwechslung zwischen den Informativen Passagen und der Story. Die Story ist einfach super spannend und so auch das Ende. Alles in Allem ein gut verständlicher Science Fiction Roman mit nicht all zu vielen Fachbegriffen. :)
The story really felt at times like non-fiction like a report of the events or a scientific paper. I really didn't mind that, I am familiar with the dry writing of Crichton. I also liked the mystery about Andromeda. Although at first I was surprised about the abrupt ending. It did feel a little anticlimactic. I was also a little disappointed by the characters who lacked individuality and personality. Sometimes it was hard to distinguish them.All in all though short, informative and fun read.
