The commander of the Army virology unit that battled Ebola in
The Hot Zone–and current director of Special Pathogens at the
CDC–teams up with the bestselling co-author of Mind Hunter to
chronicle his extraordinary thirty-year career fighting deadly
viruses.
Currently the head of Special Pathogens at the Centers for
Disease Control in Atlanta, C. J. Peters has been on the front
lines of our biological war against hot viruses for three decades
in South America, the U.S., and Africa. In Virus Hunter, he
recounts his lifelong battle against these deadly and invisible
agents–and the all-too-often equally dangerous bureaucratic turf
wars that have at times escalated the conflict and exacerbated
epidemics. From investigating Venezuelan equine encephalitis and
Bolivian hemorrhagic fever to containing Ebola in Reston, Virginia,
and the deadly hantavirus in the Southwestern U.S., Peters offers a
fascinating array of stories about the clash between biology and
bureaucracy–and the threat emerging viruses pose to our
species.
Written with bestselling co-author Mark Olshaker (Mind Hunter),
Virus Hunter is a first person memoir by one of the leading
virologists in the Ebola outbreak and a dramatic complement to the
mega-bestseller The Hot Zone.
