Kurzbeschreibung

In March 2014, the Ebola outbreak in West Africa was first reported. By October 2014, it had become the largest and deadliest occurrence of the disease. Almost 10, 000 cases have been reported, across Liberia, Guinea, Sierra Leone, Nigeria and the US. This book offers a true-life account of this highly infectious virus.

An asteroid has been named 'Preston' in honour of First Light. Preston is a lump of rock the size of lower Manhattan. It is likely some day to collide with Mars or the Earth.
