Discusses viruses- what they are, how they spread, and how scientists are trying to outwit them. Interweaving theory and real-life medical drama, the book is divided into three parts; the tiniest menace, new threats and fighting back. Scientists are shown as people who triumph and who make mistakes and, science of viral emergence as one that is itself starting to emerge.
