Francis Andrew was inspired to write Pathogens from the Cosmos
after reading Diseases from Space (1979) in which the authors, Sir
Fred Hoyle and Professor N. Chandra Wickramasinghe, presented
compelling evidence that influenza and other so-called infectious
diseases actually have their origin in outer space. They are then
brought to the Earth by comets thus challenging the conventional
wisdom that pathogens are spread from human to human. Pathogens
from the Cosmos is a novel that mirrors the present day worries
about the spread of the Swine Flu. The story takes place during the
first third of the twenty-first century. The entire crew of a space
station is killed by a mysterious virus. Scientists are baffled
about the origin of the virus. One man, Professor William Brigmore,
an astro-chemist working at Manchester University, uses all his
powers of persuasion to convince the scientific and political
establishments that the killer virus is an incident from space.
