This is one of the most terrifying and thrilling novels I’ve ever read, even surpassing the works of horror masters Stephen King and Michael Crichton.

The problem is, such events will inevitably return someday. – Renowned science fiction author Arthur C. Clarke
In the winter of 1989, a deadly contagious virus called Ebola, originating from the rainforests of Central Africa, suddenly broke out in the suburbs of Washington. Its rarity and lethality were terrifying, unstoppable, and incurable. In a short time, 90% of the infected individuals died without exception. A small team composed of military personnel and scientists was secretly sent to quell the chaos caused by the virus outbreak, but the virus continued to spread. If a containment measure wasn’t found, the entire town would disappear from the face of the Earth.
This book reveals, for the first time in human history, an imminent virus crisis that could erupt at any moment, leaving readers with a chilling sense of dread. Due to the destruction of tropical rainforests, various deadly viruses that once thrived in the rainforest have broken through their barriers and are now spreading with vengeance. Once infected, there is no cure—only a horrific death. A deadly virus in the jungle, human bombs carrying high-risk pathogens, scientists who risk their lives to block the virus invasion—years ago, these all sounded like fictional science fiction. Today, the rapid spread of AIDS worldwide and the sudden outbreak of SARS have dealt humanity a heavy blow. What will the next deadly virus be? When will the next disaster strike?
