#1 New York Times bestselling author Dean Koontz’s brilliantly thrilling novel of suspense.

In the midst of a raging blizzard, lightning struck on the night Laura Shane was born. And a mysterious blond-haired stranger showed up just in time to save her from dying.

Years later, in the wake of another storm, Laura will be saved again. For someone is watching over her. Is he the guardian angel he seems? The devil in disguise? Or the master of a haunting destiny beyond all time and space?

This is one my favorite Dean Koontz books - its merit comes from true mystery and suspense, rather than from the shock value of horror and supernatural events of his later works. Written in the later part of the 1980's, its content is still timely. I read it several times years ago and enjoyed my recent listen as much as I did my first read.

One of my favorite Dean Koontz books

A finely crafted novel of mind twisting jumps across time. Perhaps the best suspense ending I've heard. The increased pacing is masterful! And Koontz's language is always surprising, making the reader want to improve his own vocabulary. Excellent.

What about Christopher Lane’s performance did you like?

My favorite narrator, never thought anyone could top Frank Muller. We miss him, but Christopher is awesome.

Great Story!!

I was having a hard time following the story to begin with and kept getting lost, restarting the book 4 times! I finally got it. This book is not a heavy read but I needed to pay attention and not daydream while listening. When I finally caught on, I had a hard time putting the audible down. What a good listen, CL does a wonderful job narrating!

I was confused starting out

I enjoyed the gradually unfolding mystery and imaginative, well-developed sci-fi. The characters are believable and you actually care what happens to them. This book was written before Koontz started writing thinly-veiled Christian crap.

One of My Favorite Koontz Novels
