1st Book Review: The Andromeda Strain

Hi. Today, the book which I will do a review on is The Andromeda Strain. his book is writen by Michael Crichton. The Andromeda Strain is about a micro-organism from space which kills humans at a devastating rate. A military satellite has crashed and a retrieval team is sent. When the team closes onto the crash site, communications suddenly cease. Victims of the Andromeda strain...
A few planes were sent to where the team was last heard from. They discovered that almost everyone had died in the town near where the satellite crashed. The Wildfire team, a team of scientists that counters extraterrestrial threats, was summoned. When the Wildfire team arrived at the town, they discovered that the residents either died in their tracks or went nuts and commited bizarre suicides. Only two people survived. An old man and a young infant. And so the race is on to discover the cure for the Andromeda strain...before it kills us all.

  2. That was an extremely exciting book review you did, Howard, after reading the review, I really wanted to read the book. Think of the virus attacking the Earth, what kind of pandemic it will cause! Chaos would probably follow after the invasion. what will be left of us after the invasion......
