Dr. Frank Ryan is the author of this very readable and disturbing book regarding the "new" viruses emerging today; Ebola, AIDS, "flesh eating bacteria". Even old plagues are making a comeback. Will there be a lethal and incurable Virus X that spreads as easily as the common cold? Dr. Ryan presents a radical new theory, and takes you into the "hot zones" of outbreaks, research labs and hospitals where doctors and scientists are trying to control them.
