![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() With this shocking discovery, the next-generation Project Wildfire is activated, and a diverse team of experts hailing from all over the world is dispatched to investigate the potentially apocalyptic threat.īut the microbe is growing-evolving. A Brazilian terrain-mapping drone has detected a bizarre anomaly of otherworldly matter in the middle of the jungle, and, worse yet, the tell-tale chemical signature of the deadly microparticle. On the verge of being shut down, the project has registered no activity-until now. And the world thought it was safe…ĭeep inside Fairchild Air Force Base, Project Eternal Vigilance has continued to watch and wait for the Andromeda Strain to reappear. In the ensuing decades, research on the microparticle continued. In the moments before a catastrophic nuclear detonation, they succeeded. Over the next five days, a team of top scientists assigned to Project Wildfire worked valiantly to save the world from an epidemic of unimaginable proportions. Accidental exposure to the particle-designated The Andromeda Strain-killed every resident of the town of Piedmont, Arizona, save for an elderly man and an infant boy. In 1967, an extraterrestrial microbe came crashing down to Earth and nearly ended the human race. Fifty years after The Andromeda Strain made Michael Crichton a household name-and spawned a new genre, the technothriller-the threat returns, in a gripping sequel that is terrifyingly realistic and resonant. ![]()

(And, it’s been optioned for a major motion picture!) Then Life’s Too Short and The Friend Zone.Įach of these books follow a well-known trope – in each book the heroine has some reason to keep the hero at arms-length, they’re put in “the friend zone”. I read the Happily Ever After Playlist first. The characters in the first 2 books are best friends and the hero of book 1 is related to the hero in book 3. This is what I refer to really loosely as a series.

When I was in my twenties, I was living in the granny flat at the back of my mum’s house. Here’s a by no means comprehensive list of the big decisions I’ve made, for not-very-adult reasons: ![]() Not that writing a funny book is a crazy decision, just that maybe most people out there might have put a little more thought into it. ![]() As you do.īut if there’s one thing I have in common with Nick, one of the MCs from Adulting 101, it’s the ability to make crazy decisions. I was also dressed as an old time Hollywood director. Look, I’m not saying I was drunk when Amelia from Riptide cornered me at GRL last year in San Diego and told me to write her a funny book, but… Okay, fine, I was drunk.
