The Hot Zone: A Terrifying True Story

by Richard Preston

The dramatic and chilling story of an Ebola virus outbreak in a surburban Washington, D.C. laboratory, with descriptions of frightening historical epidemics of rare and lethal viruses. More hair-raising than anything Hollywood could think of, because it's all true. (read review)

    I kinda wonder if the entire thing is true. A scary read even if only half of it did in fact happen.

    Terrifying and possibly one of the most disturbing books I've ever read, there's really nothing like nonfiction.
