What is Reddit's opinion of Dark Biology Series?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

Richard Preston has written a fiction book about a biological attack, The Cobra Event. He’s also written three factual accounts of research into Ebola and other frightening diseases. All four books may be found here.

There’s a fair amount of biology in Michael Crichton’s The Andromeda Strain. The virus they’re trying to isolate is fictional and extraterrestrial, but the background of the story is crammed with detail that rings their.

You should also look at Richard Preston’s <em>Dark Biology</em> series. Most of these books are fact, not fiction. But the first book, The Hot Zone, reads like a first-rate thriller and the second book, The Cobra Event, actually is a fictional thriller.

Finally, here is a reddit thread from 2016 with additional relevant suggestions:

Of the suggestions at that link, I would second The Legacy of Heorot by Larry Niven, Jerry Pournelle and Stephen Barnes; and David Gerrold’s unfinished The War Against the Chtorr series (first book is titled A Matter for Men).
