The book, that it, not the movie (and, thankfully, not the god-awful miniseries from a decade ago).
HARPERCOLLINS PUBLISHERS ANNOUNCES THE PUBLICATION OF THE ANDROMEDA EVOLUTION, THE SEQUEL TO MICHAEL CRICHTON’S WORLDWIDE BESTSELLING NOVEL THE ANDROMEDA STRAIN
No details about the book other than the title (“The Andromeda Evolution”), the author (Daniel H. Wilson, of “Robopocalypse”) and the release date (November 12, 2019).
Could be good, could be bad. “Andromeda Strain,” from my recollection, did not directly set up a sequel, but the basic idea that a space probe brought back an alien epidemic is of course open-ended. One space probe does it, another can, or it could come in on a rock, or just filter down.
