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.
