Publisher's Notes
First Line: "Kate Moran was an only child. She was seventeen years old and lived with her parents in a loft apartment on the top floor of a handsome old building to the west of Union Square, just on the edge of Greenwich Village."
Industry Reviews
"If you've read 'The Hot Zone,' which covers an Ebola virus outbreak, you know that Preston is not squeamish. And in 'The Cobra Event' (I might as well get this over with), we are treated to descriptions of self-cannibalism (the victims of the deadly virus eat off their lips and more), plus the effects of decay on a corpse and, yes, how it smells. Be thankful there's no scent strip. Disgust aside, this is a pretty good corker."
