Query: A Quick, Enjoyable Read

I enjoyed this book for what it is - a short, interesting, and original story. Some criticize the book for being too light on character development, however I disagree. The setting of the story is the main character and the one that is develped most satisfactorily. Had the book been longer (and handled in a more contemporary fashion by its author) I don't think I would have liked it as much. I do not want to spoil the plot here, but if you enjoy medical/lab/biological science fiction along the lines of The Andromeda Strain, you will very likely enjoy this book about an extraterrestrial contaminant running amok in a futuristic, remote lab setting.
