The United States government is given a warning by the pre-eminent biophysicists in the country: current sterilization procedures applied to returning space probes may be inadequate to guarantee uncontaminated re-entry to the atmosphere. Two years later, seventeen satellites are sent into the outer fringes of space to collect organisms and dust for study. One of them falls to earth, landing in a desolate area of Arizona. Twelve miles from the landing site, in the town of Piedmont, a shocking discovery is made: the streets are littered with the dead bodies of the town's inhabitants, as if they dropped dead in their tracks.--back cover

Fifty years after the original crisis, a gripping sequel unfolds as a terrifying threat re-emerges. In 1967, an extraterrestrial microbe, known as The Andromeda Strain, nearly wiped out humanity, leaving only an elderly man and an infant boy alive in Piedmont, Arizona. A dedicated team of scientists from Project Wildfire managed to avert disaster just before a nuclear detonation. Over the decades, research continued, and the world believed it was safe. However, deep within Fairchild Air Force Base, Project Eternal Vigilance has been monitoring for any signs of the microbe's return. Just as the project faces shutdown, a Brazilian drone uncovers a bizarre anomaly in the jungle, revealing the tell-tale chemical signature of the deadly microparticle. This prompts the activation of a new Project Wildfire, sending a diverse team of global experts to investigate the potential apocalypse. As they race against time, the microbe begins to evolve. If the team fails to reach the quarantine zone and understand the anomaly, this new evolution of the Andromeda Strain could lead to the annihilation of all life on Earth.
