Picked up for pennies at a recent book sale at the M.R. Dye Library in Southaven, MS. Wow, I got 13 books plus a 16-book series in hardback for $4.00! Gotta love those library sales.
From the back of the book:
"A highly infectious, deadly virus from the central African rain forest suddenly appears in the suburbs of Washington, D.C. There is no cure. In a few days 90 percent of its victims are dead. A secret military SWAT team of soldiers and scientists is mobilized to stop the outbreak of this exotic "hot" virus. THE HOT ZONE tells this dramatic story, giving a hair-raising account of the appearance of rare and lethal viruses and their "crashes" into the human race. Shocking, frightening, and impossible to ignore, THE HOT ZONE proves that truth really is scarier than fiction."
