Richard Preston is regarded as one of the leading authors
writing about science in our time. He’s written five books,
including The Hot Zone, The Cobra Event, and The Demon in
the Freezer, which are his “Dark Biology” trio. He is a
regular contributor to The New Yorker. He holds a Ph.D. in

may slam into Mars or the Earth some day, creating an
explosion similar to the one that wiped out the dinosaurs.)
