The Andromeda Evolution by Daniel H. WilsonMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
It has been over 50 years since a microbe from space landed on Earth and nearly wiped out all humans. The Andromeda Strain was tracked down and put under control. In the years that followed, scientists continued to study this microbe. Everyone thinks they are safe, yet Project Eternal Vigilance is continuing to watch for the Andromeda Strain to return. There has been no sign of the microparticle and the program might be shut down. That is until a drone in the Brazilian wilderness detects something extraterrestrial in the jungle. Could this be the Andromeda Strain again? Whatever it is, it is evolving and the Wildfire team has a very short window to reach it and hopefully stop it before it kills all life on Earth.
The Andromeda Evolution is the second book in the Andromeda series. The events and release dates are 50 years apart and the increase in technology is represented in this new volume. Just like the first book, it is more science than thriller, but if readers like the first book they will enjoy this expansion of the story. Crichton has been dead for over ten years and Wilson did a wonderful job staying true to the original author’s style. This is not an easy read, but I still recommend it to Crichton fans.
