Obviously, Andromeda Evolution, the long overdue continuation of Crichton’s Andromeda Strain, was not written by the master himself for Crichton had passed away in 2008. Nevertheless, I would call this a worthy successor to the iconic thriller Andromeda Strain of 1969, all the while wondering if Crichton would agree. Sadly the master himself is not with us anymore and we shall never know. Perhaps he would like the way the author pays him well-deserved homage by commenting on key events in the book with quotes by Crichton. Andromeda Strain ended with a cliffhanger and Andromeda Evolution’s plot dovetails nicely into where it was left off so many years ago. Even the fifty year technology gap was bridged seamlessly - a feat not easily accomplished.
