"[Koepp] writes well, he has a wicked sense of humor and his characters are so keenly, intelligently and even movingly drawn. On every level, Cold Storage is pure, unadulterated entertainment." -- A.J. Jacobs, New York Times bestselling author of The Know-It-All "Engaging. Koepp recognizes that this is all pretty zany and imbues the novel with a mordant sense of humor, which gives Cold Storage a welcome vibrancy and lightness." -- USA Today "The story line in Cold Storage invokes classic horror films. It's scary, and a great deal of fun.
" -- Associated Press "Koepp delivers a story worthy of Michael Crichton." -- Entertainment Weekly "It has all the hallmarks of a thriller destined for Hollywood." -- Polygon "A thriller of breakneck speed, Cold Storage will be an engaging read that fans of Blake Crouch's Dark Matter could devour in one sitting." -- Ars Technica "Chilling. Propulsive. Koepp is skilled at sharp, often humorous dialogue. [A] taut, mordant thriller debut." -- Kirkus Reviews (starred review) "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." -- Booklist (starred review) "A sensational SF thriller. Breakneck pacing and nonstop action. Michael Crichton fans won't want to miss this one." -- Publishers Weekly "Cold Storage is The Andromeda Strain on 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.
" -- Barron's "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." -- Steven Heller, Imprint 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 Storage is sheer thrillery goodness, and riotously entertaining. -- Blake Crouch, New York Times bestselling author of Dark Matter "A thrilling, funny, and unexpectedly moving joy ride." -- Scott Smith, New York Times bestselling author of A Simple Plan and The Ruins 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.
