description: In this first non-fiction book since THE HOT ZONE, Richard Preston takes us inside top-secret military labs to deliver a true-life thriller about the return of smallpox - in an even deadlier, genetically engineered form. Eradicated in 1979, smallpox now has crept onto the international black market, where it is prized as the mother of all biological weapons. THE DEMON IN THE FREEZER is the story of a crusade by three doctors - two men at the height of their careers and a feisty twenty-eight-year-old woman infectious disease expert - to stay a step ahead of the bioterrorists and neutralize the most contagious pathogen known. But they can't agree on how it should be done. And when you're working in the hot zone, conflict comes at a lethal price.
