    The Hot Zone is as descriptive as Ground Zero.

    Most informative TRUE relating of deadly pandemic virus' beginning with the birthplace of EBOLA. Mr. Preston is the world authority but tells the progression through the years as a master story teller. Do not begin this literally journey lightly. It grips you in the first chapter and never lets go. I read this book when it first came out in 1994. So with all the confusion about the current Covid crises,I bought 6 copies for my family, to guide them in understanding. The events take place from 1967-1993, this masterpiece was published in 1994. it is just as terrifying a read today.

    Fascinating Read

    The story is captivating, covering the science and community response to an Ebola crisis that occurred in Reston. It is well-written too. Giving 4 stars because it does dwell too long on one story.

    Not Science-Fiction! This actually happened here, in America. It can happen again.

    Hard back books are the way to read and maintain a personal library. Very good copy of a very good book.

    This book should be required reading for all in the medical field.

    Books had some minor marks, but for the price it was worth it. I read this book 30 years ago, re-read it a month ago and could not put it down. All you covid people out there. Read it.
