This is another of my top 3 favorite Koontz books. Story is excellent with all of my favorite elements - supernatural/sci-fi & suspense! Without giving too much of the story away, Frank's family turns out to all have different supernatural powers. The battle between good and evil comes down to a tired and bewildered man trying to figure out his powers to save people around him from the powers of his brother.

This is another one of my favorite Koontz books - in my top 10 overall! It's about time travel, although that's kind of a spoiler - you don't really get to the time traveling until about halfway through the book. Then it picks up the sci-fi edge very quickly and, as one reviewer already mentioned, is as tightly logical as the idea of time travel can be. Excellent read - couldn't put it down!

Very scary book - especially if you have a heartpounding, vivid imagination. The end of the world through Koontz eyes is pretty much my idea of all the ghouls and boogeymen I'd shoved into my closet when I grew out of childhood. Koontz does a great job of cracking that door open again!

This is one of Koontz's greatest novels. I can't even count how many times I've reread this book over again. It makes you wish so hard you had a dog like Einstein that you'd read the book again just to make the dog come alive for the duration of the story! My favorite part is when the dog starts to reveal his intelligence to Travis, the main (human) character, and Travis struggles to believe what he's seeing rather than attributing it to wishful thinking. It's a wonderful story!
