Description
The Ebola virus has been dominating day by day headlines, propelling Richard Preston’s The Hot Zone back onto the New York Times bestseller lists nearly twenty years after its initial publication. To be had once again from Encore for a super value!
When a highly infectious, deadly virus from the central African rain forest unexpectedly appears within the suburbs of Washington, DC, panic ensues. There is not any cure and in a couple of days nearly ninety percent of its sufferers are dead. To stop the outbreak of this exotic “hot” virus, a secret military SWAT team of soldiers and scientists is mobilized.
A hair-raising account of the appearance of rare and lethal viruses and their “crashes” into the human race, The Hot Zone tells the dramatic story of the first Ebola outbreak. Shocking, frightening, and unimaginable to ignore, The Hot Zone proves that the truth can from time to time be scarier than fiction.
