THE HOT ZONE TRACES THE TRUE EVENTS SURROUNDING AN OUTBREAK OF THE EBOLA VIRUS AT A MONKEY FACILITY IN RESTON, VIRGINIA IN THE LATE 1980S. IN ORDER TO CONTEXTUALIZE THE DANGER POSED BY THIS OUTBREAK, PRESTON PROVIDES BACKGROUND ABOUT SEVERAL OTHER VIRAL OUTBREAKS, PARTICULARLY IN AFRICA IN THE 1970S AND 1980S. THE RESULT IS A FAST-PACED SCIENTIFIC THRILLER THAT, WHILE LACKING THE TRADITIONAL NARRATIVE OF A FICTIONAL WORK, IS ALL THE MORE TERRIFYING BECAUSE IT DESCRIBES FACTUAL EVENTS. WHILE PRESTON DOES NOT OVERSTATE THE DANGER OF EBOLA AND OTHER FILOVIRUSES, HE ARGUES THAT THE GREATER THREAT LIES IN EMERGING VIRUSES LIKE THE AIDS VIRUS, WHOSE EFFECT ON THE HUMAN RACE CANNOT YET BE MEASURED....सर्दीएवढ्या सहजपणे पसरणाऱ्या आणि संसर्ग झालेल्या नव्वद टक्के लोकांना खतम करणाऱ्या , डोळ्याला न दिसणाऱ्या अशा मारेकऱ्याची कल्पना करा. त्यांच्यावर कसलाही तोडगा अथवा उपचार उपलब्धच नाही. त्याचा स्पर्श म्हणजे कल्पनेतही येणार नाही, असा भीषण मृत्यू. या नवीन सूक्ष्म यमदूताचे नाव आहे एबोला विषाणू. ज्याची कल्पना करणेसुद्धा शक्य नाही, ते प्रत्यक्षात आल्यावर काय होते?.... आप्रिÂकेच्या घनदाट जंगलांमधून बाहेर पडलेल्या, माणसाने आजवर न पाहिलेल्या या सर्वात भयानक रोगजंतूमध्ये मानवाचे पृथ्वीवरचे अस्तित्वच पुसून टाकण्याची ताकद आहे.... असा हा जबरदस्त मारेकरी अमेरिकेच्या राजधानीत मोकाट सुटून मृत्यूचे तांडव सुरू होण्याची शक्यता निर्माण झाली आणि...
