    I highly recomend this book based on true stories. It is more horrifying than any horror book could be because it's based on the TRUTH! Read it - it will keep you on the edge of your seat.

    This is an excelent book that tells the TRUE story of Ebola's transmission around the world. This horrifying disease is highly contagious and kills 90% of the persons infected with it.

    The book discusses the three types of Ebola and where they have been located. Track the disease with the USAMRIID epidemiologists -where will it break out next? Learn about a level 3 bio-hazard lab and the deadly pathogens the scientist who work with them.

    The book also covers the outbreak of Ebola-Reston in a monkey house the UNITED STATES! Thrill along with the scientist who identifies a mystery strain as Ebola and bite your nails in suspense with two scientist exposed to this potentially fatal virus. Will this strain prove to be able to infect humans or only monkeys? The scientist race to find out the answer.
