Cold Storage by Michael C. Grumley picks up where Deep Freeze leaves off. While I've seen his marketed as a standalone novel I disagree, without the knowledge of Deep Freeze I'm not sure it would be easy to invest in. A thrilling story about survival, Cold Storage brings with it a pre-apocalyptic dystopian vibe that aligns with the current state of affairs in the United States. I have a deep passion for books that act as a foreshadowing of real life and Cold Storage does just that in spades.
We meet Army Veteran John Reiff again, this time having been frozen for a second time and brought back, he doesn't have the luxury of a quiet recovery. On the run with his body doing strange things, Reiff must rely on those around him to keep him safe. Back in the lab an even bigger secret is uncovered and the origins of why John Reiff's unthawing was so special, and important, is revealed. Another frozen body, another story to unlock, with devastating consequences for everyone involved Cold Storage is a face paced thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat.
The ending left room for more, so I hope a third book in the Revival Series is on its way!
For Audio: Scott Brick is a master of voices and his pitch and tone were perfectly synced for the fast paced nature of the story. I struggled to put it down from start to finish.
Thank you Forge & Macmillan Audio for the gifted ARC/ALC.
