From the author of Jurassic Park, Timeline, and Sphere comes a captivating thriller about a deadly extraterrestrial microorganism, which threatens to annihilate human life.
 
Five prominent biophysicists have warned the United States government that sterilization procedures for returning space probes may be inadequate to guarantee uncontaminated re-entry to the atmosphere. Two years later, a probe satellite falls to the earth and lands in a desolate region of northeastern Arizona. Nearby, in the town of Piedmont, bodies lie heaped and flung across the ground, faces locked in frozen surprise. What could cause such shock and fear? The terror has begun, and there is no telling where it will end.

Another amazing book by the author. I love his incorporation of medicine and science to his Sci fi. There’s just enough information to keep you engaged but without boring the reader. The chapter length was also perfect for me. Not too long but each chapter with excellent story progression. ( )

Elsa chewed it up. Very fun. Fast paced, science-y. Biological apocalypse prevented by competent scientists and government agencies.
  BookyMaven | Dec 6, 2023 |
Old science fiction novel which is also interesting as it transmits the feeling of another era (around 50 years ago). The action is placed in their immediate present and while it proposes advanced instruments/computers it can be a bit funny when you compare with what actually happened in 50 years. The story is about a germ of (potentially) extra-terrestrial origin, that causes some mayhem and that some scientist try to understand and cure. There are lots of descriptions of pieces of scientific knowledge (in biology, computers, etc.). The whole book is a bit written like a government report. The characters are rather flat and not very memorable. The action leading to the climax is enjoyable, but the resolution is quite anti-climatic. ( )

Fantastic glimpse into a what-if scenario about an alien pandemic that threatens to wipe out civilization if a small team of scientists don't stop it first. Well written examination of the scientific process. How it works, and where it breaks down. It's impressive to imagine that this book was written in the 1960's, but still feels so current. This was a timely read, considering the circumstances in the world (COVID-19), and while I suspect that helped engross me in the story - Crichton does a wonderful job all on his own illustrating an impending sense of urgency and dread.

Super quick re-read (couple of hours) and IMO it still holds up even though it is dated in places. ( )

"All yours, Gunner." Wilson did not answer. He dropped his nose, cracked down his flaps, and felt a shudder as the plane sank sickeningly, like a stone, toward the ground. Below him, the area around the town was lighted for hundreds of yards in every direction. He pressed the camera buttons and felt, rather than heard, the vibrating whir of the cameras. For a long moment he continued to fall, and then he shoved the stick forward, and the plane seemed to catch in the air, to grasp, and lift and climb. He had a fleeting glimpse of the main street. He saw bodies, bodies everywhere, spreadeagled, lying in the streets, across cars ... "Jesus," he said. And then he was up, still climbing, bringing the plane around in a slow arc, preparing for the descent into his second run and trying not to think of what he and seen. One of the first rules of air reconnaisssance was "Ignore the scenery"; analysis and evaluation were not the job of the pilot. That was left to the experts, and pilots who forgot this, who became too interested in what they were photgraphing, got into trouble. Usually they crashed.
