Description: Richard Preston, The Hot Zone: A Terrifying True Story. Random House, 1994. Hardcover first edition book in dust jacket. ISBN 0-679-43094-6. Book is in excellent condition. Book boards are very good, dust jacket very good. Tiny bump to front of jacket. Spine is tight, appears unread. Pictures included are of the actual book being offered for sale. A beautiful book about a deadly, horrifying subject. The Hot Zone tells of real events from 1967-1993. The virus described—Ebola—kills 9 out of 10 of its victims. From a remote jungle cave festering with deadly organisms, to an airplane over Africa that is carrying a sick passenger who dissolves into a human virus bomb, to the confines of the Level 4 biosafety lab where scientists risk their lives studying lethal substances that could kill them quickly and horribly—several years ago a book which followed these events would have been taken for science fiction. As the tropical wildernesses of the world are destroyed, previously unknown viruses that have lived undetected in the rain forest for eons are entering the human population.
