Le black-out est total, entraînant un chaos sans précédent, et nul ne sait combien de temps cela va durer.Thom Banning, magnat des nouvelles technologies, s'est préparé à cette éventualité ; en fait, il a consacré une partie de sa vie et de son immense fortune à envisager le pire, et quand le pire se produit, son plan est prêt. Un luxueux bunker autosuffisant les attend dans le désert, lui et ses valets... Mais tout ne va pas se passer comme prévu.Sa soeur, Aubrey, trop occupée à gérer les lubies de son ex-compagnon repris de justice et les atermoiements de son beau-fils adolescent, ne s'est pas montrée si prévoyante.

David Koepp is a celebrated American screenwriter who's written more than two dozen feature films. He's written with success in a wide variety of genres, including the first two "Jurassic Park" films, "Death Becomes Her," "Carlito's Way," "The Paper," "Mission: Impossible," "Spider-Man," "Panic Room," "War of the Worlds," "Angels and Demons," and "Inferno."

Some of the films he's both written and directed are "Stir of Echoes," "Secret Window," "Ghost Town," and "Premium Rush." "Cold Storage" is his first novel.

Koepp grew up in the small town of Pewaukee, Wisconsin. He went to a variety of colleges over a leisurely-paced academic career, and recounts his junior year as being "three of the happiest years of my life." He cites the University of Wisconsin at Madison and the film school at UCLA as particular highlights.

He credits much of his success as a writer to the Sisters of the Third Order of Saint Francis at Saint Anthony's Church and School, because they told him early on his handwriting was so awful he'd better learn to type immediately.
