Cold Storage Low Price CD: A Novel
Autor David Koepp Rupert Frienden Limba Engleză CD-Audio – 27 iul 2020
For readers of Andy Weir and Noah Hawley comes an astonishing debut by the screenwriter ofJurassic Park: a wild and terrifying adventure about three strangers who must work together to contain a highly contagious, deadly organism
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?

“Engaging. . . . Koepp recognizes that this is all pretty zany and imbues the novel with a mordant sense of humor, which givesCold Storagea welcome vibrancy and lightness.”
“The story line inCold Storageinvokes classic horror films. . . . It’s scary, and a great deal of fun.”
“[Koepp] delivers a story worthy of Michael Crichton.”
“It has all the hallmarks of a thriller destined for Hollywood.”
“A thriller of breakneck speed,Cold Storagewill be an engaging read that fans of Blake Crouch’sDark Mattercould devour in one sitting.”
“Chilling. . . . Propulsive. . . . Koepp is skilled at sharp, often humorous dialogue. . . . [A] taut, mordant thriller debut.”
“A terrific thriller: ambitious, audacious, gory, scary, flamboyant, and funny....[Koepp makes] a seamless, massively effective transition from the visual medium to the literary. The book doesn’t read like a modestly beefed-up pitch for a movie; it’s a rich, textured, and downright impossible-to-put-down story.”
“A sensational SF thriller. . . . Breakneck pacing and nonstop action. . . . Michael Crichton fans won’t want to miss this one.”
“Cold StorageisThe Andromeda Strainon crack: chilling end-of-the-world terror infected with wicked humor. Koepp pulls it off with style. When the real apocalypse arrives, may it be even half as funny as this.”
“An ultra-flammable combination of science-based horror, primal nightmare-level terror, and unrelenting action, cunningly tied together by indelible characters and a satisfyingly sly, knowing sense of humor.”
To be simultaneously terrifying and hilarious is a masterstroke few writers can pull off, but Koepp manages in this incredible fiction debut that calls to mind a beautiful hybrid of Michael Crichton and Carl Hiaasen.Cold Storageis sheer thrillery goodness, and riotously entertaining.
“A thrilling, funny, and unexpectedly moving joy ride.”
You might as well put your plans on ice for the next twenty-four hours, as all you’ll be doing is reading this book. The very definition of ‘thriller,’ David Koepp’sCold Storagegrabs you and shakes you and ultimately leaves you grinning.
