Book Synopsis
“A frightening and fascinating masterpiece of science reporting that reads like a detective story.” —Walter Isaacson

Trade Review
"Quammen is not just among our best science writers but among our best writers." -- New York Times
"A tidy book that explains everything we know, and everything we don't, about this terrifying disease." -- Nick Stockton - Wired
"This slender book …does a nimble job of situating this year’s unnerving events in historical context… [Quammen's] book, like most writing about Ebola, is deeply unsettling, but it’s also sober minded, and in this respect, a standout in the floodlet of Ebola books, many of them quickie scare guides and medical thrillers." -- Michiko Kakutani - New York Times Book Review
"David Quammen is a brilliant star of nature writing." -- Edward O. Wilson
"David Quammen is a master." -- Bill Bryson
