"The first chapter of The Hot Zone is one of
the most horrifying things I've read in my
whole life--and then it gets worse. That's
what I keep marveling over: it keeps getting
worse. What a remarkable piece of work."
--Stephen King

• Activity! Reading some selections from the
first chapter of the Hot Zone by Richard
Preston.
– Caution! Book is very graphic.
