#1 New York Times bestselling author Dean Koontz delivers a thrilling novel of suspense and adventure, as the lives of strangers converge around a mystery unfolding high in the Colorado mountains—and the balance of the world begins to tilt…. In the stillness of a golden September afternoon, deep in the wilderness of the Rockies, a solitary craftsman, Grady Adams, and his magnificent Irish wolfhound Merlin step from shadow into light…and into an encounter with enchantment. That night, through the trees, under the moon, a pair of singular animals will watch Grady's isolated home, waiting to make their approach. A few miles away, Camillia Rivers, a local veterinarian, begins to unravel the threads of a puzzle that will bring all the forces of a government in peril to her door. At a nearby farm, long-estranged identical twins come together to begin a descent into darkness…In Las Vegas, a specialist in chaos theory probes the boundaries of the unknowable…On a Seattle golf course, two men make matter-of-fact arrangements for murder…Along a highway by the sea, a vagrant scarred by the past begins a trek toward his destiny… In a novel that is at once wholly of our time and timeless, fearless and funny, Dean Koontz takes readers into the moment between one turn of the world and the next, across the border between knowing and mystery. It is a journey that will leave all who take it Breathless.Particularize About Books Breathless

Not even close to as good as classic Koontz, barely as interesting as Life Expectancy. The last four chapters totally jump the shark; and my mediocre enthusiasm was crushed into apathetic disgruntlement. Mr. Koontz, if you wanted to wax philosophic, don't torture us with a less than stellar novel....even better don't couch your ideas in fiction and have your characters speak your ideology.I'm shocked to say that I actually kind of liked this book. I used to be a big Dean Koontz fan. I read Watchers, and Twilight, and many of his books back in the 80s and 90s. Then, I felt like he started writing formula thrillers. They seemed too predictable, and I quit reading his books. This past week, I was desperate for something to read, so I picked this book up at my grocery store, figuring it would be a quick, meaningless book. I was pleasantly surprised. There are too many characters, and
Somewhere in California...-Say Dean, how about a new book ?-A new book ? eee....but I just completed the last one a week ago !-Dude if you want to roll with us, you've got to stay fit. James Pattersonreleases 4 books a year, and King came back from retirement..the bastard.-Oh noes ! What should I do ?-Dude you've been writing for the last 40 years and you ask me that ? I'm your agent, not your muse !-...right. I have an idea, wait a moment.(Three minutes pass)-So you know I devised this new cool
.Suddenly, Simians!...would've been a much better title for the book. There wouldn't even need to have been any story. Suddenly, there were sentient simians is about all you need to know about the book.Alternatively, The Mary Sue Monkeys might also be acceptable. I think this one takes the cake. THE worst DK book I've read yet. Your Heart Belongs to Me and The Darkest Evening of the Year should be proud; though they're still awful, awful things, I could almost say I'd rather reread either of
September 2018 Group ReadKoontz is the best, but I agree with many reading their comments with this book - too many plots to follow & in addition to Grady Adams & Henry Rouvroy... Additional plots made it more confusing...Liddon Wallace (lawyer) hired Richard Neems to kill his family but stopped by Simon Northcott?Tom Bigger, a homeless man who betters his life?Dr. Cammy Rivers (veterinarian) & Grady with Puzzle & Riddle (woodland creatures) dealing with the Department of
What a disappointment. I own and love roughly 97% of Koontz's catalog and over the past few years I am becomming more and more displeased with his writing. his characters are still the best in the buisness, no one writes more compelling characters than Koontz. No matter that the bad guys are whole heartedly bad and the good guys/girls are good to the bone (albeit with a shadowy past, but that past ends up being part of why we care for the good guy/girl). In addition to incredibly detailed yet
It used to be that any book from Dean Koontz meant several hours of real fun. Some of his stories from years ago were so amazing to read that I would become disappointed as the thickness of the unread pages in my right hand would diminish. His stories often had several characters with their own story within the book and part of what made them so fun was seeing the different characters come together into one main story. Lately though, his books seem to have lost that ability to make me dread the
