Publisher Notes

In his first nonfiction book since THE HOT ZONE, Richard Preston delivers a masterfully crafted true-life medical thriller about the return of smallpox--this time in an even deadlier, genetically engineered form. Eradicated in 1979, smallpox is back--and has crept onto the international black market, where it is prized as the mother of all biological weapons.

Media Reviews

"Preston humanizes his science reportage by focusing on individuals--scientists, patients, physicians, government figures. That, and a flair for teasing out without overstatement the drama in his inherently compelling topics, plus a prose style that's simple and forceful, make this book as exciting as the best thrillers, yet scarier by far, for Preston's pages deal with clear, present and very real dangers."
