His inner thoughts and out loud dialogues were so much fun to read. Oh my gosh, I loved Teacake, the male security guard. And as we fast forward twenty five years, we meet the two young security guards who will cross paths with the deadly fungus. Koepp's characters are richly fleshed out with lots and lots of detail. But, what this book such a great read for me was the characters and the dialogue.The beginning of the book introduces us to the both the fungus and two 'bioterror' agents charged with containing and destroying the threat. I know - didn't expect that, did you? Either did I. But - Cold Storage is so much more than it's premise! It's non stop action - and its funny. And yes, there is a terrifying fungus that has lain dormant for twenty five years that has managed to escape the containment facility it was stored in and is threatening human, sci-fi is not my usual genre. Okay, so the cover of David Koepp's new novel Cold Storage pretty much telegraphs a sci-fi read. Will that be enough to save all of humanity?
All they have is luck, fearlessness, and a mordant sense of humor.
Over one harrowing night, the unlikely trio must figure out how to quarantine this horror again. He races across the country to help two unwitting security guards-one an ex-con, the other a single mother. Now, after decades of festering in a forgotten sub-basement, the specimen has found its way out and is on a lethal feeding frenzy. He contained it and buried it in cold storage deep beneath a little-used military repository. 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. "On every level, Cold Storage is pure, unadulterated entertainment." -Douglas Preston, The New York Times Book Reviewįor 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.
