EBOLA, A NOVEL by Dale Dapkins is Available Now

Lately, every time you turn on your TV the newscasters are reporting on the spread of Ebola -- from West Africa to the US and maybe beyond. Doctors warn of its symptoms. The CDC tightens preventive measures at hospitals. President Obama appoints an Ebola czar.

Noted author Dale Dapkins is ahead of the headlines with his latest book, EBOLA, a novel. Based on the newest medical knowledge, he gives us a thriller that pictures the spread of an epidemic that might affect us all.

Not just a scientific treatise, EBOLA, a novel gives us a believable story with believable people facing a real up-to-the-minute threat to our society ... and maybe our lives.

If you thought you understood what's happening -- and what might happen -- think again. Dapkins lays out a fictional adventure that might turn out not to be fiction in the not-distant future.

Ebola hemorrhagic fever (EHF) is a virus contracted by physical contact with blood or body fluids from an infected human or animal. This 2014 Ebola epidemic is the largest in history. Out of nearly nine thousand reported cases in West Africa, 4,493 people have already died (as of this writing) -- not counting the one death and two infections here in the United States. Infections are being reported in other parts of the world too, from Spain to the Congo.

The CDC has implemented enhanced entry screening at five U.S. airports that receive over 94% of travelers from Guinea, Liberia, and Sierra Leone. The World Health Organization (WHO), and other domestic and international partners, has activated its Emergency Operations Center to help coordinate technical assistance and control activities with threatened countries.

Dale Dapkins is known as "the father of social science fiction." But with EBOLA, a novel, his look into the future seems like more like hours and weeks, not eons.
