   Further digging into it reveals that "The Andromeda Evolution" is a   
   sole work by Wilson designed as a sequel to Crichton's.  Still   
   sounds interesting though.  I remember reading Crichton's original   
   story in my teens.   
      
   Another interesting book about pandemics/virus dangers is "A Scent   
   of New-Mown Hay" (1958).  I discovered that one in my parent's   
   library (they subscribed to some mail-order book clubs for a few years).
