Loved it! It keeps your heart racing fast and you can't put it down, and it's also educational, I learned a good deal about dangerous viruses and how relatively simple it really is for them to spread all around the world. Great read, highly recommended!

This is a creepy book that proves that truth can really be more scarier than fiction. It will, I guarantee, make you think about that guy sneezing in front of you. His other book The Cobra Event is as equally good.

Wonderful book! I couldn't wait to get home at night and see what was next! Fast read - and creepier because it really happened. Shows that germ warfare agents CAN get out into the population......and have!

I read this back in High School. A kid on my bus said, "this is a good book, read it." I did so at the time not realizing it was true until I started telling my mom about it. I couldn't put it down. It is a must read.

For me, this was one of those so-gripping-I-couldn't-put-it-down books. It is horrifying and yet informative.

This terrifying true story reads like a thriller novel. Not for the faint-hearted! This book will change the way you view viruses and epidemics! THE HOT ZONE proves that truth is scarier than fiction.

A terrifying look at the end results of a pandemic, natual or terrorist induced. The author traces the hunt for the source of a highly infectious deadly virus from Africa to the suburbs of Washinton, DC. There is no known cure. This would be scary enough if it were fiction, but it is based on truth.
