Strictly off limits to the public, Plum Island is home to virginal
beaches, cliffs, forests, ponds -- and the deadliest germs that
have ever roamed the planet. "Lab 257" blows the lid off the
stunning true nature and checkered history of Plum Island. It shows
that the seemingly bucolic island in the shadow of New York City is
a ticking biological time bomb that none of us can safely ignore.
Based on declassified government documents, in-depth interviews,
and access to Plum Island itself, this is an eye-opening,
suspenseful account of a federal government germ laboratory gone
terribly wrong. For the first time, "Lab 257" takes you deep inside
this secret world and presents startling revelations on virus
outbreaks, biological meltdowns, infected workers, the periodic
flushing of contaminated raw sewage into area waters, and the
insidious connections between Plum Island, Lyme disease, and the
deadly West Nile virus. The book also probes what's in store for
Plum Island's new owner, the Department of Homeland Security, in
this age of bioterrorism.
"Lab 257" is a call to action for those concerned with
protecting present and future generations from preventable
biological catastrophes.
