"It’s been a few years since I’ve done that and when I saw this new book I remembered how much I enjoyed his books" according to Someplace Else. Thirty years ago, I read every Dean Koontz book that I could get my hands on. I looked forward to each new book and went to second hand book stores to find ones that I didn’t have or hadn’t read. I did that for the next 10-12 years and then I’m still not sure whether it was me or that the stories were different.

'Serious' writers might do well to examine his technique." --The New York Times Book Review"Lyrical writing and compelling characters Koontz stands alone." --Associated Press"In every industry there exist 'artists' that are not only unforgettable, but know their craft better than the rest. Praise for Dean Koontz"Dean Koontz is a prose stylist whose lyricism heightens malevolence and tension. He creates characters of unusual richness and depth." --The Seattle Times"Tumbling, hallucinogenic prose. Dean Koontz is among these artisans." --Suspense Magazine"Koontz has always had near-Dickensian powers of description, and an ability to yank us from one page to the next that few novelists can match." –Los Angeles Times"Perhaps more than any other author, Koontz writes fiction perfectly suited to the mood of America novels that acknowledge the reality and tenacity of evil but also the power of good and
Although people of talent and accomplishment, people admired and happy and sound of mind, have recently been committing suicide in surprising numbers, no one else is willing to give up everything, just to seek, to find, to know. Too many have already died, and those responsible will learn that all their malevolent power may not be enough to stop a woman as clever as they are cold-blooded, as relentless as they are ruthlessand who is driven by a righteous rage they can never comprehend. There is no one else to speak for Jane’s husbandor the others who have followed him into death at their own hands. Because those arrayed against her are legion and dangerously devoted to protecting something profoundly importantor terrifyingenough to exterminate any and all in their way. Because it is born of love.. No one except Jane.But ahead lies only risk. In t
