In this taut and suspenseful medical drama, Richard Preston deeply chronicles the outbreak, in which we saw for the first time the specter of Ebola jumping continents, crossing the Atlantic, and infecting people in America.
By the end-as the virus mutated into its deadliest form, and spread farther and faster than ever before-30,000 people would be infected, and the dead would be spread across eight countries on three continents.
The ensuing global drama activated health professionals in North America, Europe, and Africa in a desperate race against time to contain the viral wildfire. This time, Ebola started with a two-year-old child who likely had contact with a wild creature and whose entire family quickly fell ill and died. Now comes a gripping account of the doctors and scientists fighting to protect us, an urgent wake-up call about the future of emerging viruses-from the #1 bestselling author of The Hot Zone, soon to be a National Geographic original miniseries. The 2013-2014 Ebola epidemic was the deadliest ever-but the outbreaks continue.
