Wow, this book is DKs first attempt at writing first person, and in my opinion he does it very well, this nook is what most readers expect when they read dean koontz and i beleive that that is why i didnt get great reviews, this book is much more science fiction than it is horror or suspense, it follows a character named chris snow around moonlight bay california. well written and just as exciting as any other, i recomend that any reader who enjoys koontz or science fiction, to give this book a chance, you wont be dissapointed.
