Richard Preston
A brave, dedicated soldier and scientist (trained as a veterinarian), and a woman in a male-dominated field, Nancy Jaax provides The Hot Zone with a compelling and relatable protagonist. A loving wife to Jerry, a dedicated mother, and a devoted daughter, Nancy has a streak of courage, stubbornness, and patriotism that drives her to risk her life over and over for the sake of the general public. During the Reston Ebola scare, she plays a pivotal role in the decision to isolate and decontaminate the Reston Primate Quarantine Unit, eventually dissecting Ebola-infected monkeys despite the great personal risk this entails.
