Found this on the shelf of a second hand store for a very cheap price. I was expecting a lot more science in this book and it wasn't there. It's mostly written from the standpoint of the nuns of the Yambuku mission that witnessed this first outbreak. Although the characters claim to be terrified, that feeling never really came across to me- the reader. I also found some of the writing strange- the attraction to Veronica (a nun) by Dr. Aaron Hoffman was just weird. You knew nothing was going to happen because she was a nun and he was married. It came across as a lame attempt to make nonfiction spicy. Also, although he never says it directly, Dr. Close clearly does not like the French.
Regardless, the book did give me interest in the subject and I just picked up "The Hot Zone." I also learned a lot about African culture from the book as well. Readers may be interested to head over to the CDC's public health image library (google it) and search for "Ebola." There are several interesting pictures related to the book there including pictures of the mission at the time and some of the subjects of the book.
