The Andromeda Strain

The Andromeda Strain by Michael Crichton was about a deadly virus that spread in the city of Piedmont, Arizona. The Scoop VII was launched to collect organisms and bring them back to the surface. After orbiting for two and a half days, the satellite left the orbit and was tracked to have landed in the northeastern area Arizona (Piedmont). A van was tracking the location with two men in it, and all of a sudden they had lost contact with their station at Vandenberg. Actually, the communications were still working, but something had happened to the two men, Shawn and Crane. They had reported that Piedmont had a deserted feeling, and there were bodies everywhere in the streets, but were not certain if they were dead.

Although I have to admit it was a little confusing in a few parts because I didn't know all the terms in the book. The only part of the book that I didn't like was the ending. I thought it could've been a little better, but a different ending may have stretched the book out too long. I would recommend this book to someone else because I enjoyed it. I thought it had a good plot and overall story.

The first two who arrived were Stone and Burton who surveyed. They had to wear special suites like astronauts wear so they would not be killed by whatever was there in Piedmont. They found the whole town dead, and some who had committed suicide, a total of about fifty people. The only two who did survive, was a young infant of two months, and an old aged man in a white robe. The capsule
