They’ll need to come together to take on what waits for them inside a mysterious structure that may not be of this world. But the jungle has its own dangers, and it’s not long before distrust and suspicion grip the team. They must journey into the deepest part of the jungle to study and hopefully contain the dire threat that the anomaly seemingly poses to humanity. A diverse team is assembled: Nidhi Vedala, an MIT nanotechnology expert born in a Mumbai slum Harold Odhiambo, a Kenyan xenogeologist Peng Wu, a Chinese doctor and taikonaut Sophie Kline, a paraplegic astronaut and nanorobotics expert based on the International Space Station and, a last-minute addition, roboticist James Stone, son of Dr. Now, an anomaly with “signature peaks” closely resembling the original Andromeda Strain has been spotted in the heart of the Amazon, and a Wildfire Alert is issued. Project Eternal Vigilance was quickly set up to scan for any possible new outbreaks of Andromeda. Before it could be contained, Andromeda killed all but two people in tiny Piedmont, Arizona during testing after the disaster, AS-1 evolved and escaped into the atmosphere. The microparticle's introduction to Earth in 1967 was the disastrous result of an American weapons research program. Over 50 years after an extraterrestrial microbe wiped out a small Arizona town, something very strange has appeared in the Amazon jungle in Wilson’s follow-up to Crichton’s The Andromeda Strain.
