I didn't realize this book was written in 1969 as I always thought it was written around the time of Jurassic Park. As old as it is, the scientific aspects of it aren't excessively dated. Although there are other parts of it that make it seem dated. I was expecting a lot more, but it was too dry. It's pretty much a group of professors talking and running around this special installation trying to figure out what this alien organism actually is. However, for its time, it is still quite impressive.
