Description

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A thrilling and emotionally powerful novel from the author of the Jane Hawk series
 
“A literary miracle . . . a tapestry of intrigue and suspense.”—The Boston Globe
 

His birth was marked by wonder and tragedy. He sees beauty and terror beyond our deepest dreams. His story will change the way you see the world.
 
Bartholomew Lampion is born on a day of tragedy and terror that will mark his family forever. All agree that his unusual eyes are the most beautiful they have ever seen. On this same day, a thousand miles away, a ruthless man learns that he has a mortal enemy named Bartholomew. He embarks on a relentless search to find this enemy, a search that will consume his life. And a girl is born from a brutal rape, her destiny mysteriously linked to Barty and the man who stalks him.

At the age of three, Barty Lampion is blinded when surgeons remove his eyes to save him from a fast-spreading cancer. As he copes with his blindness and proves to be a prodigy, his mother counsels him that all things happen for a reason and that every person’s life has an effect on every other person’s, in often unknowable ways.

At thirteen, Bartholomew regains his sight. How he regains it, why he regains it, and what happens as his amazing life unfolds and entwines with others results in a breathtaking journey of courage, heart-stopping suspense, and high adventure.

    This is the last Koontz I am buying. His style has gone past my imagination and ability to think in parabolic fashion

    Dean Koontz has crafted a marvel. The intricacies of the universe(s) - the wonders most of us never really ponder - are put on display in a story that touches the heart on many levels. From the scars of childhood trauma to the deepest mysteries of science and faith, we’re transported from the dark reaches of the psychotic mind to the miraculous powers of love and commitment. I can’t remember a book I enjoyed more. Can I give it more stars?
