There's just something about hard science fiction that scratches my brain, especially if it's outbreak oriented. I eat it up every time, and The Andromeda Strain was no different.

I enjoyed the fact that the novel was stylized as if you were reading a report. When novels do different things like that I find that I enjoy the book even more. There's also a lot of graphs and charts that show the visual representation of what the scientists are looking at, which fit with the original style of writing this as a top secret military report. I onew after seeing the first page that I was going to enjoy this. And now I'm even more excited to start the sequel.
