The Andromeda Strain goes on sale from time-to-time, but only rarely for $1.99, and usually for not very long. And it's $1.99 again today - grab it if you want it. The links are still good. Another book-to-movie...

I've read some of Crichton's other books since, and although some of them are good, I didn't like any of them as much as this one. Anyway, long intro to say that The Andromeda Strain is $1.99 at Kindle US today, as part of the Daily Deal, matched at Kobo US.
