A highly infectious, deadly virus from the central African rain forest suddenly appears in the suburbs of Washington, D.C. There is no cure. In a few days 90 percent of its victims are dead. A secret military SWAT team of soldiers and scientists is mobilized to stop the outbreak of this exotic "hot" virus. The Hot Zone tells this dramatic story, giving a hair-raising account of the
appearance of rare and lethal viruses and their "crashes" into the human race. Shocking, frightening, and impossible to ignore, The Hot Zone proves that truth really is scarier than fiction.

評分我第一次听到Ebola这个名字是14年埃博拉在西非大爆发的时候。记得当时CNN用了这么一句话来形容感染了埃博拉的人:“就如他们受到了魔鬼最恶毒的诅咒。” 直到捧起《血疫》这本书,我才知道,那何止是诅咒,那简直就是魔鬼在悍戾的狂笑声中最肆无忌惮的屠戮。 《血疫》记叙的...
