TWENTY-FIVE YEARS BEFORE RESEARCHERS ENTERED THE HOT ZONE, MICHAEL CRICHTON PREDICTED A VIRUS JUST AS DEADLY. HERE IS THE CLASSIC, TERRIFYING NOVEL OF BIOPHYSICS....

What if there was a virus so lethal, it could kill people as quickly as they took a breath? What if it spared some people from instant death...but drove them hopelessly insane instead? What if the swiftest acting, deadliest virus ever known to humankind could be spread, by no more than a gust of wind, from the. remote desert site of its first massacre to the busiest cities in America...and the world? What, if anything, could stop it?

There are no villains in this hot zone. Only the microscopic seeds of Earth's extinction. It is stealthy, sudden, savage. And we are all susceptible to it.
