Search - The Hot Zone : A Terrifying True Story

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.

This was hard to beleive. I went to the internet to see if it was true! Riveting. Hard to put down.

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

You won't be able to put this down & will be haunted by it

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.

An intense and captivating read!

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.

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 most of the 35 reviews available, and I changed my mind about reading it! It sounds like a thriller that's just a little too real for me to read before sleep- which is when I read for entertainment.

Not for the squeamish or paranoid! The true story of the ebola virus is as fascinating as it is frightening.

This is one of my all-time favorite books. A great novel

Not for the faint of heart, the hypochondriac or the chronic worrier.

This book is a true story of how close we may have come to a global pandemic and how close we may be to an airborne strain of Ebola that could wipe out 90% of the world's population.

It's a gripping book that reads like a novel. When you start reading it like a novel, the build ups result in let downs. When you remember it is nonfiction, it's quite scary.

Reminiscent of Robin Cook books. A good read.

A great and terrifying read

Classic, edge-of-your-seat medical thriller! A highly infectious, deadly virus begins rampaging through a Washington, DC suburb and within a few days 90% of the victims are dead. A secret team of SWAT soldiers and scientists work together to stop the outbreak!

Hard to put down - very scary that this is non-fiction account of events. Very well written, disturbingly detailed. Won't forget this one for a long time.

GREAT book, scary & gripping

A truly horrifying story - more so because it is a true story.
