The Hot Zone

The Hot Zone by Richard Preston

Who knew that a tale of the Ebola virus could be such a thriller? Preston takes us on a journey of the discovery of the Marburg and Ebola virus strains, and then shares the story of how it came to the United States and how scientists battled with it. He manages to engage you in the characters and include you in their terrifying story. A bit gorey in parts, but in the age of SARs and the threat of world wide flu strains, this is a book worth reading.
