"People were talking about viruses from the rain forest that would find their way to modern cities and infect the inhabitants."- Narrator


  I thought was great from the book not really from a plot standpoint but because it was definitely a reference to one of his previous novels "The Hot Zone". In this book an ebola virus breaks out in the rain forest in Africa. This book is very similar to that book in a sense that there is another virus going around in this current novel but its in the United Stated rather then the rain forest. I just thought it was a cool little reference to his other books.
