Summary:
In one of the freatest feats of modern science, the devastating smallpox virus, the worst disease in human history, was purged from the planet in 1979. In tyhe interest of research, two stores were kept: one at the Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta and one at a Russian virology institute. But the demon in the freezer has been set loose.

Like the Hot Zone Richard Preston tells a non-fiction tale with fiction like suspense.
