And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voiceThrust in your sickle and reap, for the time has come for you to reap, for the harvest of the earth is ripe.
J OHN , Revelation
Crisis in the Red Zone is the successor to my 1994 book, The Hot Zone. Both books are nonfiction. The people in this story are real and the events are actual, and have been reported and told to the best of my ability. The narrative is supported by hundreds of personal interviews and years of research into published and unpublished documents and source material. Quoted speech comes from my interviews with subjects or from their recollections of words spoken by someone whos no longer alive.
The people in this story have been largely unnoticed by the world. Yet, for me at least, their actions and choices, their lives and deaths, seem to loom at the center of the most destructive rapid epidemic in anyones lifetime, one which sent feelers into Dallas and New York City, and may be an example of things to come. Though this story focuses on a few people at certain moments in time, I hope it can be thought of as a window that looks at the future of everyone.
