Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - NOW CELEBRATING ITS 50th ANNIVERSARYRead the spectacular techno-thriller that catapulted Jurassic Park author Michael Crichton to fame.Five prominent biophysicists give the United States government an urgent warning: sterilisation procedures for returning space probes may be inadequate to guarantee uncontaminated re-entry to the atmosphere. Two years later, Project Scoop sends seventeen satellites into the fringes of space in order to 'collect organisms and dust for study'. Then a probe falls to the earth, landing in a desolate area of northeastern Arizona. A little while later, in the nearby town of Piedmont, bodies are discovered heaped and flung across the ground, faces locked in frozen surprise. But the terror has only just begun, because when they try to find the cause of death, the scientists don't realise just what kind of unearthly danger they are dealing with.Brilliantly filmed by Robert Wise in 1971, The Andromeda Strain was the first book to introduce Michael Crichton's audacious combination of believable plots and white-knuckled excitement to a wide audience. 304 pp. Deutsch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Nur achtzehn Mitbürger schwarzer Hautfarbe gibt es in Kingsmarkham, und einer von ihnen ist Inspector Wexfords neuer Hausarzt: Dr. Raymond Akande. Als Melanie, die Tochter des Arztes spurlos verschwindet, bewegt den Inspector mehr als nur berufliches Interesse an dem Fall. Melanie hatte erst vor kurzem die Universität verlassen, und da sie arbeitslos war, hatte sie mehrmals beim Arbeitsamt vorgesprochen. Seit ihrem letzten Termin dort ist sie wie vom Erdboden verschluckt.Als kurz darauf eine junge schwarze Frau tot aufgefunden wird, geht Wexford wie selbstverständlich davon aus, daß es sich um die Tochter der Akandes handeln muß. Doch bei der Leiche handelt es sich gar nicht um die der vermißten Melanie.
