Although this book is about events that happened back in the 80's and forward, it is fascinating, and frightening, since it can happen again. And again. Even--perhaps especially--now. This is the tale of how Ebola and other level 4 viruses, came from the rain forest to just outside of Washington DC, killing all the way. The intro to the book was read by the author, and the narrative was aptly done by Howard McGillin, who added the drama and tension without playing it up. (There was no need to play up the terror.) A little aside here...one segment begins in Thurmont, MD, a pretty, sleepy town we were heading to for a grand buffet lunch as we listened!)
