”Enter and read immediately”

Each reader will react differently to the scenes that David Quammen tells by following closely the virus hunters to whom this book is dedicated, then he will enter with a different spirit in the caves of Malaysia on whose walls live thousands of bats, or in the thick of the rainforest of the Congo, in search of very rare, and apparently harmless, gorillas.

 

But when he discovers that each of those animals, such as the pigs, mosquitoes or chimpanzees that they meet in other pages, can be the carrier of the next pandemic – of Nipah, Ebola, sars, or dormant and still only partially known viruses , which a small spillover can transmit to man -, each reader will respond in the same way: he will no longer be able to sleep, or at least not before having read Quammen’s story to the last line. And at that point, perhaps, he will decide to start it all over again, hoping to understand if it will really be Ebola, or another unnamed entity, that will cause the next Big One – the next big epidemic.
