Synopsis
"Relentlessly suspenseful...A hair-raising experience." THE PITTSBURGH PRESS The United States government stands warned that sterilization procedures for returning space probes may be inadequate to guarantee uncontaminated re-entry to the atmosphere. When a probe satellite falls to the earth two years later, and lands in a desolate area of northeastern Arizona, the bodies that lie heaped and flung across the ground, have faces locked in frozen surprise. The terror has begun....

    Although this book was not as described, with no picture of it in the listing, the seller communicated well and quickly gave me a full refund while letting me keep it. The minimal packaging left the book a bit vulnerable (typical for ThriftBooks), but it did arrive safely and timely. As usual, it’s hit or miss with this seller, but often times you can get great values, and their customer service is always very good. Many other sellers with millions of transactions don’t even communicate.

    I've ordered several items from this vendor now and they've always been what they were advertised as. This was no exception. Both discs were in great shape as well as their jewel cases. Delivery is good, packaging is simple but effective for what you're paying and I haven't had any get damaged. Will keep buying from this vendor because of the results so far and good prices, too.

  • Quick and Captivating Read

    The book follows what protocol would be followed by the united states in the event of a space viral/bacterial species that infects human. The science is very true to real life even though the book is a fiction. All the techniques from electron microscopes to UV spectroscopy are genuine and Crichton has a rich understanding of scientific endeavors in his time. The plot itself is fantastic and even the unknown obstacles that could come with an unknown strain of infection are incorporated as well as errors made by overlooking information (errors in observation).

  • Andromeda Strain

    Great Michael Crichton book. If you are a fan of his writing and books then give this one a try. He has a way of writing novels that could actually happen. Best part, there is a second book (Andromeda Strain Evolution) that I'm looking forward to reading as well.
