Subtitle The Andromeda Strain -

In the desolate silence of the Arizona desert, a military satellite named Scoop 7 tumbled back to Earth, landing near the remote town of Piedmont. When two recovery officers arrived to retrieve it, they found a nightmare: the entire town's population was dead, their bodies scattered in the streets as if they had simply stopped mid-step. Within minutes, the officers were dead too, victims of a lethal, extraterrestrial microorganism that kills human hosts almost instantly.

Project Wildfire—a top-secret emergency protocol—was immediately activated. Four elite scientists were summoned to a clandestine, state-of-the-art underground laboratory in Nevada to isolate and contain the threat. Among the carnage in Piedmont, they discovered only two survivors: a screaming infant and an elderly, alcoholic man. The Andromeda Strain - Michael Crichton subtitle The Andromeda Strain
