41/150 When I was reading The Andromeda Strain, it felt like the script to a documentary, very straight forward and just the facts. This felt more like a found footage film, pieces put together after the fact, some speculation on what actually happened. It's still an interesting sequel to the original, although the ending was a bit farfetched. 4 ⭐⭐⭐⭐

When it all began again, Paulo Arana would have been bored.

Started off loving it, but kind of lost interest towards the end. It was a bit too much. But overall, entertaining read with lots of action.
So here‘s a Book Outlet haul that I received today. Pleased to have these beautiful books and yet ... I need a bigger house or a more thorough book purging soon. I‘ve read the Crichton book and adding the other 6 to Mt TBR! 😁 #BookHaul
I am almost finished and I ahve been enrapted in this book. I have been ill the past few days and too tired to focus my eyes to read and I am frustrated because I want to know what happens next. A good sequel to a good book.

Fifty years after The Andromeda Strain made Michael Crichton a household name - and spawned a new genre, the technothriller - the threat returns, in a gripping sequel that is terrifyingly realistic and resonant.
The evolution is coming.
In 1967, an extraterrestrial microbe came crashing down to Earth and nearly ended the human race...
I am posting one book per day from my extensive to-be-read collection. No description or reason for wanting to read the book. Some are old and some will be new. Don't judge me - I have a lot of books.

The book was so good I had hard time putting it down read it in two days, if it hadn‘t been for sleep one day would have been enough.
Picking up groceries in my husband‘s car. I am so glad he is a reader and always has his book in the car for when he gets to work early. He doesn‘t read as much as me but he reads 📚

I enjoyed this story immensely! This Wildfire team is far more diverse, including an anthropologist, and a roboticist who has a small flock of 'canary' drones. Another member is an astronaut on the ISS. There's definitely more action and diversity in this story. The ending was neat too, though it does stretch the imagination. Andromeda continues to evolve. It's here to stay. I hope there's sequel! I'd love to see further evolutions.
I felt as if I was reading a Ben Affleck movie in which our group of heroes try to save the world by outsmarting every possible scientific destruction. Mildly entertaining, preposterous, and scientifically alluring.
🎧 this was a difficult review. I wanted to LOVE this book. The narrator is well known but she was lukewarm reading this book. It might be due to the book being written like a government document/report. I can say that I loved the ending!! The last 20% really interested me the rest was just ok. I know, not a glowing review but it‘s worth a read. I don‘t regret it. I hope there‘s another book. ⭐️⭐️⭐️
