..Maybe it a complete work by Wilson
(and not something that Crichton had a draft for?) It is
a shame that Crichton died so young at 66.
I figured that. But the cover is kind of unclear. Normally
it would say "based on" or something similar if it was
original, Or maybe co-written by if it were unfinished. At
least in my experience.
Further digging into it reveals that "The Andromeda Evolution" is a
sole work by Wilson designed as a sequel to Crichton's. Still
sounds interesting though. I remember reading Crichton's original
story in my teens.
Another interesting book about pandemics/virus dangers is "A Scent
of New-Mown Hay" (1958). I discovered that one in my parent's
library (they subscribed to some mail-order book clubs for a few years).
