About the book
The United States government is given a warning by the pre-eminent biophysicists in the country: current sterilization procedures applied to returning space probes may be inadequate to guarantee uncontaminated re-entry to the atmosphere.
Two years later, seventeen satellites are sent into the outer fringes of space to "collect organisms and dust for study." One of them falls to earth, landing ina desolate area of Arizona.
Twelve miles from the landing site, in the town of Piedmont, a shocking discovery is made: the streets are littered with the dead bodies of the town's inhabitants, as if they dropped dead in their tracks.
The terror has begun . . .

5.0• 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.
