Kevin Hazzard's newest book, No One's Coming, is one I devoured over the weekend.
Hazzard takes his time setting the stage and providing enough background to the situation: Americans with ebola trapped in Africa, needing an emergency rescue in order for them to have a chance at survival.
We learn about the company, Phoenix Air, that was created to transport dangerous materials around the world. And we learn about the doctors and volunteers who are waging a war against the deadliest ebola outbreak in history and their desperate need for rescue.
Once the action begins, this is a page-turner. I have read The Hot Zone by Richard Preston and am fascinated by the ebola virus, so reading about the most recent outbreak and its impact on the people it infected is a topic I continue to be curious about. Add to that the high stakes rescue and the people willing to take risks on a daily basis, and this book only gets better.
If you need some great nonfiction in your life, this is a book that will appeal to readers of all ages.
