Description
First, a horse in Brisbane falls ill: fever, swelling, bloody froth. Then thirteen others drop dead. The foreman at the stables becomes ill and the trainer dies. This title tracks these infections to their source and asks what we can do to prevent some new pandemic spreading across the face of the earth.
A frightening and fascinating masterpiece of science reporting that reads like a detective story
It may have been eight years since David Quammen's Spillover was first published, but its prescience is spookily topical this plague year
Travelling deep into the rainforest with the scientists hoping to identify the next pandemic pathogen, Quammen's book is plotted like a detective thriller
Quammen’s book is compelling and shows that there are many candidates out there vying to be the next pandemic
Quammen has a wide range of knowledge, an agile pen, and a generous heart
