Outbreak

by Robin Cook

Outbreak is a 1987 medical thriller novel written by Robin Cook. It follows Dr. Marissa Blumenthal, an epidemiologist who was researching an Ebola virus outbreak in the United States. As she investigated the origin and spread of the virus, she uncovers that all is not what it seems to be. In 1995, a made-for-television film adaptation of the book titled "Robin Cook's Virus" (later renamed Formula for Death), was released starring Nicollette Sheridan and William Devane. This television film is unrelated to the 1995 theatrical film Outbreak, which has a similar plot.
