Product description
Review
A New York Post "Best New Books" Selection
"[A] spectacular, action-packed, character-driven adventure...Koontz remains white hot with another certain bestseller." --Booklist (starred review)
"Colorful, imaginative...a lively, offbeat novel." --Kirkus Reviews
"A terrifying new tale...A fast-paced, hold-your-breath thriller with a heart." --AARP
"Vivid..." --Associated Press
"Dean Koontz is the master of this kind of story. His imagination has no limits and with each book he seems to top himself. It makes you wonder what traveling to other worlds might truly be like." --Red Carpet Crash
"Some authors have used the sci-fi genre to create other worlds and critique the current world politics or realities. Koontz's interests lay elsewhere. He's more concerned with the human condition that remains the same across time and space and that cannot be remedied by ideology." --The Big Thrill
"This is a genre-busting work that happily will appeal to readers who enjoy thrillers, horror, sci-fi or just a flat-out well-told story with a breakneck pace that never lets up." --Bookreporter

Well, I guess it's comforting to know that nothing has really changed, it's the same old Koontz I loved from way back when.
Similar characters, situations and developments. But you know what, that's just fine by me. I think I was expecting him to have changed as a writer, to have developed, but why should he? He's highly successful and is obviously writing about the things he loves to write about, and I for one commend him for it.
If you're a Koontz fan, you know exactly what you're going to get from this book. If you're new to Koontz then strap in and simply enjoy the roller-coaster! This is one of his more streamlined offerings, where it's almost all about driving forward the action and very little time spent on the characters or world. No, this is by no means a perfect book. It's not going to crack your mind open and jam in some existential offerings that will change your thinking for life. What it will give you is a very enjoyable and speedy read, and sometimes that's all a book needs to give you.

As always, Dean makes the unbelievable quite plausible & lots of the characters are heart-warming & totally engaging.


Fantasy works when it’s used to make a bigger point - as Koontz himself acknowledges with his 3 page review of The Princess Bride shoehorned halfway into the narrative - but there’s no discernible point to this claptrap.

It started OK but then just after the free sample pages, the story fell apart for me when the carachters actions suddenly had to go beyond plausible to keep the plot together. (ie, it became impossible for him to press a button whilst also walking)
The plot remained simple and thin. The language and style was not in any way thought provoking or complex. He tried to develop a backstory on the carachters but they were simple and cliché.
The good thing was, it ends quickly.
