JULY 2014. Two American medical volunteers who joined the fight against the deadliest Ebola outbreak in world history have gotten infected. The virus kills in just over a week and they’re trapped in a hot zone with the clock ticking. If there’s going to be a rescue it has to happen now.
The very notion of getting the patients out is a radical and dangerous idea. Bringing them home might cause an outbreak of Ebola here in the US. No one’s certain if it can or should be done or if they’ll even survive the flight. In fact, the only thing anyone can agree on is that there’s just one group of people resourceful enough (or crazy enough) to pull this off. Thousands of miles away and deep in the north Georgia mountains, a phone rings at Phoenix Air. It's the US government calling with another impossible mission.
Kevin Hazzard chronicles the ten frantic days that followed that phone call, dropping readers into the center of a first-of-its-kind international rescue. Phoenix Air, an eccentric band of engineers, pilots, and doctors with a reputation for doing things nobody else could, would become a lifeline to the world.
Terrifying, fascinating, and inspiring, No One’s Coming is a story of selfless heroes on both sides of the Atlantic who overcome the apathy and resistance of their own governments and communities, risking their lives to save others—once again proving that ordinary people are capable of overcoming the most extraordinary of problems. As contagions spring up around the world, this story of outbreaks and the people who fight them resonates more than ever.

“Hippocrates said that the natural forces within us are the true healers of disease. Kevin Hazzard taps into the healing forces of narrative, decency, willpower, and empathy to uncover a great healing story of our times. The great thing about No One's Coming is that it captures the pulse of the moment and gives us an insight into how—and why—we live. In the face of all the world's difficulties and failures, the human instinct for goodness shines through. This is a thriller, a love story, and a forensic journalistic feat all wrapped into one.”Colum McCann, author of Let the Great World Spin and Twist

“In this inspiring, cinematic book, a daring American aviation firm rescues seriously ill medical workers in West Africa. The author, a former paramedic, is well matched with the subject. He skillfully builds dramatic tension, though a handful of scenes read like extracts from a punched-up screenplay. ... A stirring account of the dauntless ingenuity that saved lives during an infectious disease outbreak.”Kirkus Reviews
