everyone in the world should read this book- smallpox biowarfare is coming. preston wrote this book 20 years ago. he explains that SMALLPOX is the bioweapon of choice for a lot of reasons. russia sold their stocks of smallpox bioweapons to several countries. these would be delivered by ICBMs. now, in 2021, the smallpox threat is worse than ever. you cannot get a vaccine for love nor money. only the military, some police, and some frontline workers are going to be allowed vaccinations. this is a matter of when, not if. it's coming. this could easily kill billions of people. the living will envy the dead.

Richard Preston continues to be one of my favorites. This novel, along with his other success, The Hot Zone, should, in my opinion, be featured in science classes across the nation. While they contain technical terms and procedures, Preston makes sure to write in such a way that even a person completly unfamiliar with biology will understand. While I felt that The Hot Zone was more of a page turner, The Demon in the Freezer is horrifically captivating and pertinent.
A good. Well written and fast paced.

This is a great book by Richard Preston- he wrote the Hot Zone several years ago. It is a work of non-fiction that discusses how viruses could be used for biological warfare in a way that is absolutely captivating. I cannot put the book down! Read it today!
i enjoyed the suspense that was ongoing throught. i like investigative reading for mind stimulation. this book was more than just reading. It was and experience. I was recommended tis by peers who are learing on topics like communicable diseases.
Demon in the freezer is chilling and true! Biological warefare is real and on a hair trigger. It is scary how easily accessible these awful things are to wipe us out.
Excellent book that is true and written BEFORE 9/11. Very worthwhile read, especially for naeve folks.
