Abridged version.
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.

I'm not sure what it is about potentially world-ending diseases, but please, people - keep writing books about them.'The Hot Zone' is just as captivating as Preston's 'The Demon in the Freezer,' which concerns smallpox and anthrax. I listened to the audiobook and never wanted to stop listening. I learned so much, and Ebola is such a fascinating virus. It *dissolves* you WHILE YOU'RE STILL ALIVE. Amazing. Every time I read books like this, I'm sad that I wasn't better in the STEM fields because I think the complexities of viruses and disease are incredible and wish I had the smarts to study them. 5 stars all around. At this point, I'm setting out to read everything Preston has written.
