Critic reviews

"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 Hiassen. Cold Storage is sheer thrillery goodness, and riotously entertaining." (Blake Crouch, New York Times best-selling author of Dark Matter)

"A thrilling, funny, and unexpectedly moving joy ride." (Scott Smith, New York Times best-selling author) 

"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’s Cold Storage grabs you and shakes you and ultimately leaves you grinning." (Scott Frank, Academy Award-nominated writer of Logan and Out of Sight)

From the master

David Koepp usually writes film scripts but with this book he takes you on a personal journey and you see your own film. Great story and characters. Love Teacake

Good yarn

Flawed and fallible, delightfully human characters, and a sticky situation they must try to overcome. I liked it, recommended. Good narration. The science horror element May not have been totally correct, but it was creative, entertaining and got my suspension of disbelief with a smile and a wave.

Very good

Enjoyed listening, narration was good. Surprised this has no reviews, a good plot, well written. I will be looking to the author for more books.
Sorry not great at reviewing books! I took a chance on a non reviewed book, and enjoyed it, and found a new author to boot.

A movie script sold as a book.

Not a great plot but entertaining enough, maybe the movie will be better.
Some gore and violence with bunch of adults no one would care because they are not nice people or people you would enjoy as company.

Start as you mean to go on!

What a first book! Brilliant story, entertaining characters with humours dialogue. There are a few edits in the reading which sound different but not enough to take you out of the emersion. Looking forward to reading the next title!

another zombie novel

It's left-wing propaganda, similar to "I, Legend": non-whites save the world. The author thinks that the 2 biggest problems are: minimum-income people & racist white people.

Brilliant combination of writing and narration

Funny, dialogue helped by great narration. Story good without being great but still a really enjoyable experience.

A good read

Loved it

Bit slow to begin with but eventually got going and was very suspenseful with plenty of wit thrown in. I really got to know the characters too, with the ones you want to have a happy ending and others not so much.
Very nicely narrated too. Would definitely recommend.

Not usually a fan of zombie stories but this was pacey and funny. Narration was excellent
