    Thru the years, I have purchased (and loaned) this book several times and have never had a copy returned! It is just toooo great to not keep! And yes, I have read it several times and will again and again. I believe Lightening would be an absolutely fabulous movie. I’ll keep hoping! KAPinOregon

    Like reading horror novels? Like reading mysteries? Don’t ignore all of the customer reviews from people saying they love this book. They know what they’re talking about! When it comes to horror tales and mysteries, Dean Koontz writes in both genres and, as a fan, I can promise you that he is INCREDIBLE at it! This book is a thriller, not a horror novel. Unlike some of the others, it’s also not the first book I read by Koontz; I read lots of others before I found this one. Still, any and all readers who call this one of his best are not wrong. This romantic suspense story/sci-fi thriller/chase thriller is fantastic! Considering that Koontz always seems to me to be an author who loves to scare readers even as he entertains and uplifts by showing us the best side of human nature, this book features one of his most diabolical concepts as a writer of any kind of scary book! Ditto for the villains! Once you find out exactly who they are, you’ll be thinking: “Thank goodness the idea for this book can’t really happen! It would be a nightmare!” So, if you’ve never read Dean Koontz and you’re looking for a great new horror author or suspense author to try, read this book! If you’re already a fan of Koontz, whether a longtime fan or a newcomer, read this book! Take my word for it: You’ll have a new favorite on your hands for sure!

    This book is just as suspenseful and wonderful as all his other books I have read. I’m glad he added the afterward as it explains why he writes the way he does. I’m ready to read the next one!
