"To call David Quammen one of our greatest science writers is to belittle him.

With Sherlockian verve... Quammen's portrait of the real 'Patient Zero'... is a masterful summing-up of the evidence." -- Nathan Wolfe - Nature "Compelling...[an] utterly gripping story." -- Abigail Zuger - The New York Times
