NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • An urgent wake-up call about the future of emerging viruses and a gripping account of the doctors and scientists fighting to protect us, told through the story of the deadly 2013–2014 Ebola epidemic “Crisis in the Red Zone reads like a thriller. That the story it tells is all true makes it all more terrifying.”—Elizabeth Kolbert, Pulitzer Prize–winning author of The Sixth Extinction From the #1 bestselling author of The Hot Zone, now a National Geographic original miniseries . . .This time, Ebola started with a two-year-old child who likely had contact with a wild creature and whose entire family quickly fell ill and died. The ensuing global drama activated health professionals in North America, Europe, and Africa in a desperate race against time to contain the viral wildfire. By the end—as the virus mutated into its deadliest form, and spread farther and faster than ever before—30,000 people would be infected, and the dead would be spread across eight countries on three continents.In this taut and suspenseful medical drama, Richard Preston deeply chronicles the pandemic, in which we saw for the first time the specter of Ebola jumping continents, crossing the Atlantic, and infecting people in America. Rich in characters and conflict—physical, emotional, and ethical—Crisis in the Red Zone is an immersion in one of the great public health calamities of our time.Preston writes of doctors and nurses in the field putting their own lives on the line, of government bureaucrats and NGO administrators moving, often fitfully, to try to contain the outbreak, and of pharmaceutical companies racing to develop drugs to combat the virus. He also explores the charged ethical dilemma over who should and did receive the rare doses of an experimental treatment when they became available at the peak of the disaster.Crisis in the Red Zone makes clear that the outbreak of 2013–2014 is a harbinger of further, more severe outbreaks, and of emerging viruses heretofore unimagined—in any country, on any continent. In our ever more interconnected world, with roads and towns cut deep into the jungles of equatorial Africa, viruses both familiar and undiscovered are being unleashed into more densely populated areas than ever before. The more we discover about the virosphere, the more we realize its deadly potential. Crisis in the Red Zone is an exquisitely timely book, a stark warning of viral outbreaks to come.

I have read all of Richard Preston's books. The first one I read, "The Demon In The Freezer" was very exciting. I thought it was fiction. Only half way through, did I really check it out and realized, "No, this is REAL." That led to "The Hot Zone" which is scary as hell too. Now the "Red Zone" is about Ebola, 2014 in the Congo and the deathly efforts to contain it. I didn't know, that sweat from an Ebola infected person...who doesn't even KNOW they have it yet, is SO infectious! This book tells just how this virus changes, adapts and lives to infect by changing it's DNA to survive. Why is this so scary? When you have 1000 unvetted people dropped off in Texas from know Ebola infected countries, it scares the hell out of me. There is a 21 day incubation period, that a person might not know they are infected and spreading it. Did I mention how this microscopic monster adapts? What if that incubation period goes from 21 days to 42 days? Two weeks after the news report of the people from Congo, Camaroon, and Ghana were dropped off in Texas, the World Health Organization declared a global emergency on the Congolese Ebola. Why? Because it has spread from that country. The Congo is surrounded by SIX other countries. I think the WHO has declared a global emergency only once or twice in it's history. So, if you are concerned for yourself, your family and friends and want to be prepared, read this book, "The Hot Zone", and especially "The Demon In The Freezer", about smallpox, which has been eradicated due to vaccinations. BUT, it is SO easy so easy to make in a simple basement lab with things bought off the web. Can we say, "bio-terrorism"? One suitcase of smallpox smuggled through drug cartel tunnels in San Diego, could kill hundreds of thousands in six weeks.
