This is a great read, but it will make you wonder how many times this has happened in the U.S. and in other countries and we "little" people never hear about it.

Timeless terror. I was scared in the 1990's the first time I read it. Then came Anthrax in 2001. Then Mad Cow Disease. Now Swine Flu.

This book demontrates that very powerful, deadly viruses exist that we don't even know about yet and could be transmitted at any time. A must read.
