About this listen
Fifty years after The Andromeda Strain made Michael Crichton a household name—and spawned a new genre, the technothriller—the threat returns, in a gripping sequel that is terrifyingly realistic and resonant.
Half a century ago, a military satellite was knocked out of orbit and fell to Earth in northern Arizona, bringing with it a hostile microbe that nearly wiped out an entire town. The two survivors and the fallen satellite were taken to an underground laboratory—named Project Wildfire—a top-secret emergency response protocol headed by the nation's most elite scientists, who quickly isolated an extraterrestrial organism they dubbed the Andromeda Strain. With its ability to mutate suddenly and adapt to any environment, the organism threatened to annihilate all human life from the planet.
And then it disappeared.
In the ensuing decades, a group assigned to track and identify any trace of the microbe has seen no sign of Andromeda. But when a bizarre anomaly appears without warning, the team discovers the tell-tale chemical signature of the deadly microparticle. Now, a new generation of Project Wildfire scientists must race to understand the Andromeda Strain and destroy it before it sets off an unprecedented worldwide catastrophe.
The book is a collaboration between CrichtonSun and author Daniel H. Wilson (Robopocalypse).

Crichton fan
Wonderful conclusion to Andromeda Strain. Science talk is always part of Crichton’s writing. Interesting, more real characters in comparison to AS.

An enjoyable story
After listening to the original andromeda strain, this one has a comparable slow start, but so do all roller coasters.
The pace really picks up and once it does it doesn’t let go until the end.
Highly recommend if you found you wanted a conclusion to the first instalment.

Very engaging
Very much enjoyed it. Bit of a slow start but once it gets going reveals a dream adventure and mystery.

I absolutely loved it.
I binged The Andromeda Strain and The Andromeda Evolution in a few days.
The number of times I found myself absolutely immersed was hilarious. People were talking to me and I wasn’t hearing them.
This second instalment, written 50 years after the first, was just amazing. It’s is a bit slow at the start but I was still entranced.
At one point I was shouting so loud because I was surprised, I haven’t enjoyed a book this much in ages.
If you like sciencey stuff and sci fi this is for you.

Really disappointing.
Got part way through and was totally bored. More a documentary of a non existent event. The andromeda strain was the first sci fi book I ever read and I loved it! Was so looking forward to this next chapter in the story and felt totally let down.
