출판사 설명
The bestselling landmark account of the first emergence of the Ebola virus.
Now a mini-series drama starring Julianna Margulies, Topher Grace, Liam Cunningham, James D'Arcy, and Noah Emmerich on National Geographic.
A highly infectious, deadly virus from the central African rain forest suddenly appears in the suburbs of Washington, D.C. There is no cure. In a few days 90 percent of its victims are dead. A secret military SWAT team of soldiers and scientists is mobilized to stop the outbreak of this exotic "hot" virus. The Hot Zone tells this dramatic story, giving a hair-raising account of the appearance of rare and lethal viruses and their "crashes" into the human race. Shocking, frightening, and impossible to ignore, The Hot Zone proves that truth really is scarier than fiction.

The Powers of Nature
“Nature has ways of balancing itself. The rain forest has its own defenses. The earths immune system, so to speak, has recognized the presence of the human species and is starting to kick in. The earth is attempting to rid itself of an infection by the human parasite.
Perhaps AIDS is the first natural step in that process of clearance. “ An except from this book!
If those words are not terrifying enough, I don’t know what it. This book was an eye opener for sure and near the end I was hoping there is a new book with updated information since the outbreak in Texas in 2014 and there is!
Next up: Crisis in the Red Zone. Wow, I’m not going into any caves in Africa any time soon!
Fun
Quick read! Loved it, gruesome and engaging.
Very good!
Very well written, easy to understand. If you have interest in the spread of viruses and in Ebola specifically, you will enjoy this book.
