Characters are all white dudes in lab coats and even the non lab-coat characters are all white dudes.So-so tension, but nothing like one of his better books, Jurassic Park, for example.It’s hard to keep them straight, they all seem like the same guy (except they attended different Ivy League schools and have slightly different occupations)
The novel puts forward an interesting premise, but not fully baked (I am pretty sure this novel would never get published today).I read this novel because of a recommendation by a friend during Covid19… Do I recommend this novel? No, I don’t and here are 5 reasons why: However, Crichton soon after became a best-selling author and gave up the idea of practicing medicine. This must have been a “thing” in that era because it strikes me that wouldn’t phase anyone now. His reason for publishing under other names…he was a medical student at Harvard and was actually thinking he might practice medicine someday and didn’t want his patients to know that he was writing on the side. He had published previously under a variety of pen names.
THE ANDROMEDA STRAIN, by Michael Crichton, was the first novel published by Crichton under his actual name.
