The most interesting part of this book is the description of the laboratory where the scientists work and live for a few days studying the new virus. The organization of the laboratory is very complex: it is divided in five floors with different security levels and there are a lot of strange instruments used by the researchers. We have been involved by their descriptions because they are very specialised and detailed. Then we have been fascinating by the way the scientists and also the army kept the project and the existence of virus Andromeda secret. People don’t know anything about this, so they aren’t afraid and live normally. Actually, in the real world, scientists have discovered the virus of bird flu (H5N1). Contrary to the book, everybody got informed  by the medias. However the most people are frightened and worried because they often got the wrong idea of the problem and now they are afraid of getting ill (there is still the risk of the diffusion of the flu from China to Europe). We don’t agree with both the choices because we think that it is important to inform people, but only without alarming them and giving wrong information. In this way the population won’t be panic-stricken and it will be easier to find a solution.
