"On the morning that marks the end of the world they have known, Molly and Neil Sloan awake to the drumbeat of rain on their roof. A luminous silvery downpour is drenching their small California mountain town. It has haunted their sleep, invaded their dream, and now, in the moody purple dawn, the young couple cannot shake the sense that something is terribly wrong.
...soon the Sloans and neighbors will be forced to draw on reserves of courage and humanity they never knew they had. For within the misty gloom they will encounter something that reveals in a shattering instant what is happening to their world - something that is hunting them with ruthless efficiency."

A slam bang, all-out thriller! I love Koontz, and this is one of his most memorable works.
