For a frightening (and true) introduction to Ebola, check out "The Hot Zone," by Richard Preston. It will give you nightmares!

Also by Richard Preston,”The Cobra Event”, for those of us who often wonder about the weaponized variety of viral agents, their creators and motivations. Very scary, very real.

I wanted to read “The Hot Zone” when it came out 20 years ago, but never got around to it. Just bought a used copy on Amazon. I’m sure it’s going to be a major downer with the escape of the Ebola virus from the wilds of Africa. This does not look good for the human race at all.
