An insider's look at the hot zones of the world (  )RicDay | Feb 1, 2009 |   I wanted to read this book because CJ Peters was the man who "sniffed" the vial containing Ebola virus in the book "The Hot Zone." While that was a foolish act, his many years of experience working with the various government agencies educate the populace on infectious diseases and epidemiology.

Amazon.com (ISBN 0385485573, Hardcover)Books such as Richard Preston's The Hot Zone thrust the deadly Ebola virus into the spotlight, but they can't match the first-person perspective of Virus Hunter. Author C. J. Peters is an ex-army colonel who has spent his professional life studying deadly pathogens in the lab and in the wild. He spins a drama- and adrenaline-filled true tale of virus hunters, which is gripping despite its occasional tendency to grow verbose and detour into personal history. Peters offers a look at crippling diseases not only through the eyes of a scientist, but also with the perspective of an insider in the defense establishment, painting a chilling picture of the potential of biological terrorism or outright warfare.(retrieved from Amazon Fri, 24 Apr 2009 07:58:24 -0400) The first test round has been closed.
