图书简介
The Hot Zone is a gripping real-life thriller that recounts the first emergence of the Ebola virus in 1989 and its subsequent spread into the United States. In a few days, 90% of its victims are dead, and a secret military SWAT team of soldiers and scientists is mobilized to stop the outbreak of this exotic "hot" virus. Through interviews, diaries, and medical records, author Richard Preston takes readers behind the scenes to witness the danger and chaos of this deadly epidemic.
The Hot Zone is both a cautionary tale and a fascinating scientific exploration of one of the deadliest viruses known to man. The writing is taut and the pacing is tense, making for a gripping read that will leave readers on the edge of their seats. The research is meticulous, and the author deftly weaves together scientific and historical facts with vivid storytelling.
This book is a must-read for fans of medical thrillers, true crime, and science writing. It is a haunting reminder of the dangers of emerging diseases and the crucial importance of public health preparedness.
