In 1967, an extraterrestrial microbe came crashing down to Earth and nearly ended the human race. Accidental exposure to the particle—designated The Andromeda Strain—killed every resident of the town of Piedmont, Arizona, save for an elderly man and an infant boy.

Over the next five days, a team of top scientists assigned to Project Wildfire worked valiantly to save the world from an epidemic of unimaginable proportions. In the moments before a catastrophic nuclear detonation, they succeeded.

In the ensuing decades, research on the microparticle continued. And the world thought it was safe…

Deep inside Fairchild Air Force Base, Project Eternal Vigilance has continued to watch and wait for the Andromeda Strain to reappear. On the verge of being shut down, the project has registered no activity—until now. A Brazilian terrain-mapping drone has detected a bizarre anomaly of otherworldly matter in the middle of the jungle, and, worse yet, the tell-tale chemical signature of the deadly microparticle.

With this shocking discovery, the next-generation Project Wildfire is activated, and a diverse team of experts hailing from all over the world is dispatched to investigate the potentially apocalyptic threat.

But the microbe is growing—evolving. And if the Wildfire team can’t reach the quarantine zone, enter the anomaly, and figure out how to stop it, this new Andromeda Evolution will annihilate all life as we know it.

In Zorba, the author Nikos Kazantzakis had created an image and a philosophy about life that inspired Steimel. Zorba’s commitment to grasping tightly to the present and living life without fear was something he strived to adopt.

On his road trip in 1972 Steimel aimed to explore America’s back roads—the country sharply divided over the war in Vietnam—and break away from his hometown of Louisville, Kentucky. Along the way, he sought to gain a deeper understanding of himself and the path his life would take.

However, the Beetle he chose for the journey suffered mechanical failure on the first day in a small town in Alabama, only 300 miles from the journey’s starting point. After a month, his resources were expended and he was forced to return to Louisville and put his dream of driving across America on the shelf.

Receiving a Masters Degree in social work, Steimel pursued a career working with disadvantaged children. He married and raised two daughters—a life well-lived—and he continued to pursue Zorba’s approach to life holding the author Kazantzakis in his mind as a mentor. But always a feeling lingered that he had some unfinished business.

Forty-five years after his first attempt at a cross-country road trip in an old VW, Steimel retired and began searching for a vintage VW bus that could help him fulfill his dream…
