From Library Journal
Johnson blends concerns about infectious disease, animal rights, biological warfare, and late Cold War politics into an enjoyable adventure. Dr. Lowell Kaplan of the Centers for Disease Control serves as our "Indiana Jones" of virology. He first investigates, then contracts and survives Marburg disease before he is thrown into the whirl of international intrigue as he strives to isolate and eliminate the source of the Marburg virus. The story is nicely read by Paul Daintry. Production values are high, and the packaging is attractive and durable. One problem for the listener, however, is that the material is a bit dated as the print version of The Marburg Virus was released in 1982. Otherwise this is a well-told tale that should appeal to many listeners, particularly those who enjoyed Richard Preston's best-selling The Hot Zone (Audio Reviews, LJ 2/1/96). Recommended for fiction collections.
