Wilson (entirely separately), which documents a really weird and really deadly plague. In the first book, The Andromeda Strain , all but two people (an old man and a baby... what do they have in common?) in the tiny town of Piedmont, Arizona, die suddenly. A highly secretive government team — Project Wildfire — takes a look at the plague to see what happened... and what they find is literally out of this world. It may sound like a bad sci-fi novel, but it’s actually a good sci-fi novel with action sprinkled in! (And how could it be bad? Crichton also wrote Jurassic Park .) Wilson’s offering, The Andromeda Evolution , is just as good, with an even more threatening disaster and a villain to hate.
