A review by fleur_de_lisa
The Hot Zone by Richard Preston

dark informative mysterious tense fast-paced

5.0

This book really does read like a modern day thriller.. as every person is introduced, I immediately start worrying for their safety and wellbeing and am sure they are doomed for a horrible, gruesome death. Which, in some cases, does happen. It’s always amazing to me how much we think that we as humans have conquered nature and dominated it, when there’s such a vast network of microscopic viruses tinkering around and laying in wait for the right opportunity to turn everything upside down. And there’s still so much we don’t know about how to most effectively combat them.
