NOW A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE
"On every level, Cold Storage is pure, unadulterated entertainment." —Douglas Preston, The New York Times Book Review
For fans of The Martian, Dark Matter, and Before the Fall comes an astonishing debut thriller by the screenwriter of Jurassic Park: a wild and terrifying bioterrorism adventure about three strangers who must work together to contain a highly contagious, deadly organism that could destroy all of humanity.
They thought it was contained. They were wrong.
When Pentagon bioterror operative Roberto Diaz was sent to investigate a suspected biochemical attack, he found something far worse: a highly mutative organism capable of extinction-level destruction. He contained it and buried it in cold storage deep beneath a little-used military repository.
Now, after decades of festering in a forgotten sub-basement, the specimen has found its way out and is on a lethal feeding frenzy. Only Diaz knows how to stop it.
He races across the country to help two unwitting security guards—one an ex-con, the other a single mother. Over one harrowing night, the unlikely trio must figure out how to quarantine this horror again. All they have is luck, fearlessness, and a mordant sense of humor. Will that be enough to save all of humanity?
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
You’d expect the first novel from the screenwriter of Jurassic Park to match a few hardy souls against a fantastic threat to humanity—and you’d be right. Instead of dinosaurs, David Koepp dreams up a monstrous, constantly mutating micro-organism that does battle against a trio of extremely imperfect heroes trying their best to save the planet. Cold Storage is ambitious, with a story line that spans over three decades and a dash of hard science that keeps things disturbingly convincing. Best of all, Koepp delivers a truckload of suspense sure to have you turning pages well into the night.
