Excellent books for folks interested in viruses, pandemics, or anyone looking to push themselves into reading more nonfiction about science. Highly readable (even through the science-y parts!) and an enjoyable look into how animal viruses cause illness and disease in humans. Not as much of a downer as you might think! Towards the end, though, reading about the Next Big One had a bit of a sense of doom, but ends on a note that we can trust scientists are on the case. Great read!
