The Andromeda Evolution (The Andromeda Strain 2) by Daniel H. Wilson (Goodreads Author), Michael Crichton, 3 stars

[Jen]

Exactly what it said it would be. More adventure with crazy scientists. Some with great morals and some with no morals and a grudge to bear against the world.
Set partly in the USA, partly in the Amazon and partly on the ISS. Andromeda has evolved as the title suggests and as per the original has both an evil strain and a more benign strain. This time a crazy scientist thinks she knows best and can manipulate it to her advantage. Obviously the aliens know better.
Stone junior is back to continue his father's legacy.
