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.

Hard to believe it was written over 50 (!) years ago.
Crichton was an absolute master.

It was interesting how he described a computer terminal like the reader would have no idea what he's talking about since most people in 1969 wouldn't know what he's talking about.
Now, I also enjoyed State of Fear at the time, but man has that aged like milk. It was controversial at the time, actually. Kind of lost a little but or respect for the guy…
I wouldn't say it's terrible so much as anticlimactic. Still worth the read, IMO.

I wouldn't call it a sequel as much as fan fiction that they somehow got Crichton's estate to let him use his name on. Far cry from the original.
