About the book

Richard Preston’s nonfiction thriller traces the discovery and early outbreaks of Ebola and related hemorrhagic viruses, including incidents that brought deadly pathogens frighteningly close to major U.S. population centers. Combining field reporting, scientific context, and real case histories, the book explains how these viruses spread, why they are so lethal, and how public health teams respond under extreme pressure.
