David Koepp

For readers of Andy Weir and Noah Hawley comes an astonishing debut by the screenwriter of Jurassic Park: a wild and terrifying adventure about three strangers who must work together to contain a highly contagious, deadly organism When Pentagon bioterror operative Roberto Diaz was sent to investigate a suspected biochemical attack, he found something far worse: a highly mutative organism capable of extinction-level destruction. He contained it and buried it in cold storage deep beneath a little-used military repository. Now, after decades of festering in a forgotten sub-basement, the specimen has found its way out and is on a lethal feeding frenzy. Only Diaz knows how to stop it. He races across the country to help two unwitting security guards—one an ex-con, the other a single mother. Over one harrowing night, the unlikely trio must figure out how to quarantine this horror again. All they have is luck, fearlessness, and a mordant sense of humor. Will that be enough to save all of humanity?

A Novel

Cold Storage

"Forget a good night's sleep. Aurora is epic, but personal and poignant, horrifying and darkly funny, and flat-out suspenseful."--Linwood Barclay, New York Times bestselling author of Find You First From the author of Cold Storage comes a riveting, eerily plausible thriller, told with the menace and flair of Under the Dome or Project Hail Mary, in which a worldwide cataclysm plays out in the lives of one complicated Midwestern family. In Aurora, Illinois, Aubrey Wheeler is just trying to get by after her semi-criminal ex-husband split, leaving behind his unruly teenage son. Then the lights go out--not just in Aurora but across the globe. A solar storm has knocked out power almost everywhere. Suddenly, all problems are local, very local, and Aubrey must assume the mantle of fierce protector of her suburban neighborhood. Across the country lives Aubrey's estranged brother, Thom. A fantastically wealthy, neurotically over-prepared Silicon Valley CEO, he plans to ride out the crisis in a gilded desert bunker he built for maximum comfort and security. But the complicated history between the siblings is far from over, and what feels like the end of the world is just the beginning of several long-overdue reckonings--which not everyone will survive . . . Aurora is suspenseful storytelling--both large scale and small--at its finest.

Em 1987, o agente do Pentágono, Roberto Diaz, é enviado a uma pequena comunidade no deserto australiano para investigar o surgimento de uma nova espécie de fungo que adoeceu todos que entraram em contato com ele. Porém, ao chegar no local, descobre algo bem pior: o organismo modifica o próprio DNA a uma velocidade impressionante e pode exterminar a vida na Terra em poucos dias. Com a ajuda de sua parceira, Diaz consegue conter a ameaça. Um único espécime do fungo, no entanto, é capturado e levado a uma base militar americana para ser isolado a centenas de metros debaixo da terra. Décadas depois, a mesma base é vendida para uma empresa privada e, com o aumento da temperatura do planeta, o fungo consegue se libertar de sua quarentena. A princípio, os dois vigias do lugar — Travis "Teacake" Meacham, um ex-presidiário tentando reorganizar sua vida, e Naomi Williams, uma mãe solteira — não fazem ideia de como estão perto do perigo. E agora o único que pode ajudá-los é o aposentado agente Diaz. O trio, então, tem apenas uma noite para salvar o mundo de um terrível destino. Mas, tendo apenas a sorte e a coragem como armas, eles serão capazes de impedir o contágio? É nesta obra repleta de ação que David Koepp, roteirista internacionalmente reconhecido e vencedor do Oscar, faz sua estreia no mundo da literatura. Com humor e uma extraordinária capacidade de retratar experiências humanas, Contágio une ficção científica e personagens autênticos para apresentar o que Koepp faz de melhor: contar uma história inesquecível.
