La Menace Andromède

Crichton’s world-building feels seamless, but I wonder what inspired the choice to revisit this story with new characters and twists.

The detailed science added a layer of realism, but at times I wondered if it slowed the story’s momentum. What’s the balance between technical detail and pacing?

The characters' responses felt very real, but I’m curious—are we meant to see this as hopeful or more cautionary about scientific hubris?
