The Viral Storm

Wolfe has an important story to tell and as a virologist at the forefront of pandemic forecasting, he is the perfect person to tell it Guardian

In The Viral Storm award-winning biologist Nathan Wolfe - known as the Indiana Jones of virus hunters for his work in jungles and rain forests across the world - shows why we are so vulnerable to a global pandemic.

The Viral Storm examines how viruses like HIV, swine flu, and bird flu have almost wiped us out in the past - and may do so in the future. It explores why modern life makes us so at risk to global pandemics, and what new technologies can do to prevent them. Wolfes provocative vision may leave you feeling distinctly uncomfortable - but it will reveal exactly what it is we are up against.
