Descrição
1967年，一種前所未見的絲狀病毒現身於德國馬堡，造成數人身亡。1976年，屬於同科的伊波拉在非洲蘇丹爆發，致死率五成，和中世紀黑死病相同；二個月後，伊波拉在薩伊捲土重來，幾天之內，就奪去九成病人的性命。1989年，美國雷斯頓一間猴子飼養所再出現新型伊波拉，猴子大量死亡，但並未感染人類。在那之後，伊波拉仍持續繁衍、變種，至今未歇。
為追溯1989年在雷斯頓造成猴子大量死亡的伊波拉爆發事件，作者爬梳大量文獻、訪談當年與早先曾接觸伊波拉病例的醫師與研究者，並親赴最可能為伊波拉源頭的中非基藤岩洞，將70至80年代遽然出現、又旋即消失的幾次伊波拉爆發事件予以串連，構成了一部了解伊波拉疫情發展，生動而可信的紀錄。

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.
