I dunno. I recently split open my leg. From my POV, it was a gushing disaster, and that's how I wrote it down. The emerg physician saw it as 3 stitches in his overworked world.
I got the book deal, he is still on 36h shifts.
Mine was a true account. The doctor's was far too non-graphic to truly explain the situation and emotions.
And to be clear. I am not discounting your book nor promoting the one I mentioned. I am just tired of Hot Zone Haters seeing a notification in their feed and coming and shitting on the book.
Its so predictable. Your book was written by a travel blogger .

Ironically many of those same virologists that "widely panned" the book, benefitted greatly from the grants it made available to them.
I think you are more upset than they are.

Spillover didnt act as a catalyst to create billions in funding for vaccine research on hemorrhagic fevers, but Hot Zone did. Not to mention the incredible attention it brought to the conditions in that part of the world.
Nobody gives a shit about it being too gross for virologists as a piece of literature or tv or movies. The 2 latter of which, the other book has none to their credit.
Like a moth to a flame. There is always one guy who sees this title and has to make this asinine comment.

The Hot Zone was an excellent book about the emergence of these viruses, especially marburg.

>companies like Salesforce, their product is insanely sticky.
They developed an Early Warning System that tracks ~130 customer metrics. It can predict a customer about to churn with more than 95% accuracy more than 9 months out.
They are incredibly dialed in.

In the US, maybe.
NZ doesnt have "felony" convictions and this was originated by the condemned, not automatically.
