In his breathless and utterly unique style, the author tells the story of how a group of American scientists sought to identify, track and combat the virus that was killing people in Wuhan in January 2020. As usual, he carries the narrative forward through the forensic examination of 'unsung heroes'. Each cameo is highly engaging though I started to lose the plot and frustratingly could not connect his colourful tales to America's baleful Covid response.
