The Demon in the Freezer

Richard Preston's chilling investigation into smallpox and bioterrorism reads like a thriller, but every word is true. From clandestine Soviet labs to the CDC's frozen vaults, Preston traces humanity's most dangerous pathogen and the scientists racing to prevent its return. Written with the pace of a novel and the rigour of investigative journalism, this is science writing at its most gripping. Perfect for readers who loved The Hot Zone or anyone fascinated by the intersection of science, history, and global security.
