Imagine the Andromeda Strain,
written by Carl Hiassen and you've got Cold Storage.
1987: a mutated virus arrives back
on earth in the wilds of the Australian outback, courtesy of NASA's crashed
Skylab. Pentagon bioterror expert
Roberto Diaz and his commander Trini Romano are sent to contain it and they do,
but not without casualties. Despite Diaz's protests scientists take a sample of
the virus back to the US and place it in cold storage at absolute zero to keep
it inert.
2019: Diaz is on the verge of
retirement and the world has forgotten about the virus which isn't at absolute
zero anymore and is busy establishing a foothold colony at what is now a
storage facility in rural Kansas.
All that stands between it and
global destruction are an aging Diaz, ex-con Teacake, single mother, Naomi and
a second hand weapon of mass destruction with a less than reliable timer.
