理查德•普雷斯顿(RICHARD PRESTON,1954— ),美国非虚构作家,《纽约客》撰稿人。他在普林斯顿大学获得了英文博士学位,师从著名的非虚构作家约翰•麦克菲。普雷斯顿擅长以非虚构手法,处理科学题材。1984年,他出版了首部非虚构作品《第一道光》,这本天文学题材的书获得了美国物理学学会的科学写作奖。十年后,普雷斯顿推出了另一部科学写作经典《血疫》,这本描写埃博拉病毒缘起的作品获得了巨大的成功,长踞《纽约时报》非虚构类畅销书榜首达61周。普雷斯顿因此获得了美国疾病控制与预防中心颁发的防疫斗士奖,他也是有史以来唯一以非医师身分获奖的得主。
A highly infectious, deadly virus from the central African rain forest suddenly appears in the suburbs of Washington, D.C. There is no cure. In a few days 90 percent of its victims are dead. A secret military SWAT team of soldiers and scientists is mobilized to stop the outbreak of this exotic "hot" virus. The Hot Zone tells this dramatic story, giving a hair-raising account of the
appearance of rare and lethal viruses and their "crashes" into the human race. Shocking, frightening, and impossible to ignore, The Hot Zone proves that truth really is scarier than fiction.

评分Richard Preston这部作品读来就像坐过山车一样,在阅读过程中常常看得我心惊肉跳、呼吸困难。它使我总是想起几年前玩的一个游戏《瘟疫公司》(Plague Inc.)。然而现实世界并不是游戏,玩坏了还可以选择重来。 01 血疫:埃博拉的故事 故事从1980年开始,我们跟着夏尔·莫内的...
