Sci-Fi & Speculative
by Michael Crichton
A deadly extraterrestrial microorganism crashes to Earth in New Mexico, threatening humanity with extinction. Written as a documentary-style report, Crichton's techno-thriller follows a team of scientists racing against time to contain and understand the Andromeda Strain. Tense, methodical, and rooted in hard science, this novel established the template for the scientific thriller.
