Advance praise for The Demon in the Freezer Richard Preston has brought us another book that reads like a top-notch thriller. Would that it were fiction. As the movie unfolds in your mind, remember this: It can happen here. -Laurie Garrett, author of The Coming Plague The Demon in the Freezer is fascinating, frightening, and important. It reads like a thriller, but the demons are real. Richard Preston has a 'black patent' on this kind of reporting and storytelling. He is the only writer on the scene who can make the inside story of biological weapons so darkly entertaining. Read this book and pray that its heroes can lock the demon back in the freezer. -Jonathan Weiner, author of The Beak of the Finch Praise for The Hot Zone One of the most horrifying things I've ever read in my whole life. What a remarkable piece of work. I devoured it in two or three sittings, and have a feeling the memories will linger a long time. -Stephen King A tour de force . . . Preston uses the power of simple narrative to drive deep his story's urgent truths. -Los Angeles Times Book Review Utterly engrossing . . . Will make your blood curdle. -The Washington Post Book World
