About the book
NOW CELEBRATING ITS 50th ANNIVERSARY
Read the spectacular techno-thriller that catapulted Jurassic Park author Michael Crichton to fame.
Five prominent biophysicists give the United States government an urgent warning: sterilisation procedures for returning space probes may be inadequate to guarantee uncontaminated re-entry to the atmosphere. Two years later, Project Scoop sends seventeen satellites into the fringes of space in order to 'collect organisms and dust for study'.
Then a probe falls to the earth, landing in a desolate area of northeastern Arizona. A little while later, in the nearby town of Piedmont, bodies are discovered heaped and flung across the ground, faces locked in frozen surprise. But the terror has only just begun, because when they try to find the cause of death, the scientists don't realise just what kind of unearthly danger they are dealing with...
Brilliantly filmed by Robert Wise in 1971, The Andromeda Strain was the first book to introduce Michael Crichton's audacious combination of believable plots and white-knuckled excitement to a wide audience.

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.
