A terrifying science-fiction thriller from the internationally bestselling author of Jurassic Park.

NOW CELEBRATING ITS 50th ANNIVERSARY
Read the spectacular techno-thriller that catapulted Jurassic Park author Michael Crichton to fame.

Five prominent biophysicists give the United States government an urgent warning- sterilisation procedures for returning space probes may be inadequate to guarantee uncontaminated re-entry to the atmosphere. Two years later, Project Scoop sends seventeen satellites into the fringes of space in order to 'collect organisms and dust for study'.

Then a probe falls to the earth, landing in a desolate area of northeastern Arizona. A little while later, in the nearby town of Piedmont, bodies are discovered heaped and flung across the ground, faces locked in frozen surprise. But the terror has only just begun, because when they try to find the cause of death, the scientists don't realise just what kind of unearthly danger they are dealing with...

Brilliantly filmed by Robert Wise in 1971, The Andromeda Strain was the first book to introduce Michael Crichton's audacious combination of believable plots and white-knuckled excitement to a wide audience.
Industry Reviews
"He had me convinced it was all really happening" -- Christopher Lehmann-Haupt * New York Times * "Science fiction, which once frightened me because it seemed so far-out, now frightens me because it seems so near. The Andromeda Strain is as matter-of-fact as the skull-and-crossbones instructions on a bottle of poison - and just as chillingly effective" * Life * "Terrifying...One of the most important novels of the year" * Library Journal *
