NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
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. Accidental exposure to the particle—designated The Andromeda Strain—killed every resident of the town of Piedmont, Arizona, save for an elderly man and an infant boy. Over the next five days, a team of top scientists assigned to Project Wildfire worked valiantly to save the world from an epidemic of unimaginable proportions. In the moments before a catastrophic nuclear detonation, they succeeded.
In the ensuing decades, research on the microparticle continued. And the world thought it was safe…
Deep inside Fairchild Air Force Base, Project Eternal Vigilance has continued to watch and wait for the Andromeda Strain to reappear. On the verge of being shut down, the project has registered no activity—until now. A Brazilian terrain-mapping drone has detected a bizarre anomaly of otherworldly matter in the middle of the jungle, and, worse yet, the tell-tale chemical signature of the deadly microparticle.
With this shocking discovery, the next-generation Project Wildfire is activated, and a diverse team of experts hailing from all over the world is dispatched to investigate the potentially apocalyptic threat.
But the microbe is growing—evolving. And if the Wildfire team can’t reach the quarantine zone, enter the anomaly, and figure out how to stop it, this new Andromeda Evolution will annihilate all life as we know it.

Softcover. Zustand: Fine. Leichte Risse. Fifty years after the original crisis, a gripping sequel unfolds as a terrifying threat re-emerges. In 1967, an extraterrestrial microbe, known as The Andromeda Strain, nearly wiped out humanity, leaving only an elderly man and an infant boy alive in Piedmont, Arizona. A dedicated team of scientists from Project Wildfire managed to avert disaster just before a nuclear detonation. Over the decades, research continued, and the world believed it was safe. However, deep within Fairchild Air Force Base, Project Eternal Vigilance has been monitoring for any signs of the microbe's return. Just as the project faces shutdown, a Brazilian drone uncovers a bizarre anomaly in the jungle, revealing the tell-tale chemical signature of the deadly microparticle. This prompts the activation of a new Project Wildfire, sending a diverse team of global experts to investigate the potential apocalypse. As they race against time, the microbe begins to evolve. If the team fails to reach the quarantine zone and understand the anomaly, this new evolution of the Andromeda Strain could lead to the annihilation of all life on Earth.
