理查德•普雷斯頓(RICHARD PRESTON,1954— ),美國非虛構作傢,《紐約客》撰稿人。他在普林斯頓大學獲得瞭英文博士學位,師從著名的非虛構作傢約翰•麥剋菲。普雷斯頓擅長以非虛構手法,處理科學題材。1984年,他齣版瞭首部非虛構作品《第一道光》,這本天文學題材的書獲得瞭美國物理學學會的科學寫作奬。十年後,普雷斯頓推齣瞭另一部科學寫作經典《血疫》,這本描寫埃博拉病毒緣起的作品獲得瞭巨大的成功,長踞《紐約時報》非虛構類暢銷書榜首達61周。普雷斯頓因此獲得瞭美國疾病控製與預防中心頒發的防疫鬥士奬,他也是有史以來唯一以非醫師身分獲奬的得主。
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.
