7/10
This "sequel" to the Hot Zone is more like a set of short complex stories compared to the interesting, easy-read of Hot Zone. Even though I am a scientist who is interested in public health, at times I found that the book dragged. I wish it was more compressed and at times included more story of what and how the "disease cowboys" were doing. It is a good read, but only to those who are interested in the material. What Laurie Garrett is trying to do is make this important material read by the masses, and the masses wouldn't read a 622 page book that at times reads like a high school biology book. If the story was more story and compressed, she could have accomplished that.
