The Hot Zone is a riveting account of the appearance of a highly infectious, deadly virus from the central African rain forest that suddenly emerges in the suburbs of Washington, D.C. With no cure available, the virus claims the lives of 90 percent of its victims in just a few days. A secret military SWAT team of soldiers and scientists is deployed with the urgent mission to halt the outbreak of this exotic "hot" virus.

This dramatic narrative gives a hair-raising insight into the world of rare and lethal viruses and their impact on the human race. It's a chilling reminder that sometimes, the truth can be more terrifying than fiction. The Hot Zone is shocking, frightening, and utterly impossible to ignore.
