Great read. Seemed so realistic. Scary
This book is a science fiction classic! I loved this book!
Michael Crichton strikes again! The Andromeda Strain is a sci-fi biological thriller, which I’m sure would be entertaining for the average reader, but was especially engaging for someone professionally involved in microbiology. That being said, the book surely is readable by a general audience.
Awesome story by one of America’s great authors. One of his best I think. Lots of drama, excitement, and of course the world is in danger. Don’t miss out on a classic.
One of the best books ever!
Too close to reality possibilities…
