Brought to you by Penguin. A gripping, timely book about the transmission of deadly viruses from animal to human populations, and how we can tackle a global pandemic. As globalization spreads and as we destroy the ancient ecosystems, we encounter strange and dangerous infections that originate in animals but that can be transmitted to humans.

As cases of Coronavirus grow across the globe, discover the book that predicted this viral disaster and the science that could stop the next one in its tracks.
