BOOK REVIEW
HOT ZONE- RICHARD PRESTON

'A VIRUS DOES NOT WANT TO KILL ITS HOST. THIS IS NOT THE BEST INTEREST OF VIRUS, BECAUSE THEN THE VIRUS MAY ALSO DIE, UNLESS IT CAN JUMP FAST ENOUGH OUT OF THE DYING HOST INTO A NEW HOST'

The blurb from Stephen King reads: “The first chapter of The Hot Zone is one of the most horrifying things I've ever read in my whole life… and then it gets worse. That's what I keep marveling over: it keeps getting worse. What a remarkable piece of work. I devoured it in two or three sittings, and have a feeling the memories will linger a long time.”
