Dean Koontz reminds me increasingly of Stephen King (except King wrote very few complete, tedious flops, of course. None that I can think of off the top of my head.) He writes a pretty good yarn for 500 pages, then puts a bad taste in your mouth at the very end. King used to have trouble ending a book's plot. But the bad taste in a Koontz book usually comes from his going overboard on schmaltz or cliche. Most of this book is excellent.
