    Somewhere along the Amazon river in the most remote section of the Brazilian rainforest, a long-dreaded event is taking place. A towering column of unknown origin is rising hundreds and hundreds of feet into the sky. Initially thought of as the aftermath of the Chinese space station Heavenly Palace's reentry into the Earth’s atmosphere, causing reintroduction of the Andromeda virus again after fifty years of inactivity. Within hours a specialist team of international scientists are flown to the spot to investigate this anomaly. What transpires next within a short number of days may either be the beginning of man’s next evolution, or instead end Earth’s entire human civilization.

   The book keeps a quick pace with what you’d expect from a Michael Crichton Book. Exciting characters of the usual mix; morally sound folks against uncaring Governmental institutions. People with good intentions letting situations with Bad Results get out of hand. Lots of action and intrigue. A fine sequel to the original Andromeda Strain by Michael Crichton. An entertaining read indeed.
