Further digging into it reveals that "The Andromeda Evolution" is a
sole work by Wilson designed as a sequel to Crichton's.  Still
sounds interesting though.  I remember reading Crichton's original
story in my teens.

Another interesting book about pandemics/virus dangers is "A Scent
of New-Mown Hay" (1958).  I discovered that one in my parent's
library (they subscribed to some mail-order book clubs for a few years).
