This was such a good read. It is one of those books that you don't want to put down. If I could have, I would have stayed up all night and read the whole thing in one day it was so good. I read a few years back The Hot Zone and then when this whole Ebola thing kept going on with no end in sight, I decided to see what other books I could read and found this one. Sure, it is a novel but it is somewhat based on fact. It will definitely scare you and make you wish that Ebola was just something made up in some science fiction novel.
