"Palpably exciting. A scientific thriller about a looming global crisis far morecritical than oil. Karen Dionne is the new Michael Crichton." -- David Morrell
"What a ripper of a story! I loved every page." -- Douglas Preston
"Fascinating and action-packed, Freezing Point by Karen Dionne is a riveting tale of cutting-edge science, board-room greed, and the triumph of those who respect nature. Dionne's voice is authentic and fresh. Watch out, Michael Crichton!" – Gayle Lynds
"Karen Dionne’s Freezing Point combines a strong narrative voice, sympathetic characters, and some really cool science into a compelling read in the mold of Michael Crichton’s STATE OF FEAR. Gangbusters!" – John Lescroart
"Karen Dionne's Freezing Point has everything. Exciting to read, highly original in plot, provocative in subject matter, and peopled with engaging characters. What a very promising debut!" – John Case
