About this product

Product Information

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.

Everyone needs to read this book.
I read this book in 1995. It was an eye opening. Being an independent corpsman in the Navy from 1974 to 1982 then reenlisting in 1990 for desert storm, gave me a head start with the language of medical terms. Reading it again is a good refresher course on highly contagious diseases. And what our world is up against now in 2020with this corona virus pandemic. Everyone who wants to know how and why pandemics occur needs to read this book.

A Deadly Virus, That Is Out There And No One Want's To Feel It's Wrath.
This is one scary book and the made for T.V. movie will freak you out. Be prepared for a ride into the world of viruses with no cure in this novel. It will make you want to purchase a bio-hazard suit afterwards. The book arrived in great condition, and it's one everyone should read.

Phenomenal book
This book was phenomenal. It goes into amazing detail about filoviruses. If you are any interest in ebola, virology, microbiology, or even if you just want a scary true story, then this book is for you. I could hardly put the book down. Talk about a page turner! The writing style is unique in that it moves easily from telling stories about people to hard science, and then to rather pretty descriptions of scenery and little details about the events. Five stars, for sure.

Terror and the Truth!
I highly recomend this book based on true stories. It is more horrifying than any horror book could be because it's based on the TRUTH! Read it - it will keep you on the edge of your seat. This is an excelent book that tells the TRUE story of Ebola's transmission around the world. This horrifying disease is highly contagious and kills 90% of the persons infected with it. The book discusses the three types of Ebola and where they have been located. Track the disease with the USAMRIID epidemiologists -where will it break out next? Learn about a level 3 bio-hazard lab and the deadly pathogens the scientist who work with them. The book also covers the outbreak of Ebola-Reston in a monkey house the UNITED STATES! Thrill along with the scientist who identifies a mystery strain as Ebola and bite your nails in suspense with two scientist exposed to this potentially fatal virus. Will this strain prove to be able to infect humans or only monkeys? The scientist race to find out the answer.Read full review
