On the positive, the Koontz is very good at writing and pacing the chase scenes. But in writing, he seemed rushed in finishing the novel with an abrupt ending. The character's dialogue seemed kind of 'comic bookish' and stale. The main characters aren't well-developed and seem two dimensional. Koontz is good at action, and the chase scene maintained my interest. But, does anyone see any close similarities between this novel and 'Servants of Twilight'? The chase seemed very similar to me, even down to the blizzard. For a better read, I recommend 'Intensity'. I thought this was a much better novel, with better characters and greater suspense.
