Originally published under the pen name, Sterling Blake, Chiller is one of Gregory Benford's most thrilling convergences of science and imagination. What happens when cryonics works — when scientists begin to awaken the cryonically preserved "Chillers" who lie frozen and waiting? Benford gives us a story that snaps along through the crazed mind of a serial killer, the scientists he stalks, and the chilling results of science advancing against death.
