<p><strong>"On every level, <em>Cold Storage</em> is pure, unadulterated entertainment." —Douglas Preston, The<em> New York Times Book Review</em></strong></p><p><strong>For fans of <em>The Martian</em>, <em>Dark Matter,</em> and <em>Before the Fall</em> comes an astonishing debut thriller by the screenwriter of <em>Jurassic Park</em>: 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.</strong></p><p><strong>They thought it was contained. They were wrong.</strong></p><p></p><p>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.</p><p>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.</p><p>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?</p><p></p>
