FROM THE PUBLISHER
"Dylan O'Conner is a gifted young artist just trying to do the right thing in life. He's on his way to an arts festival in Santa Fe when he stops to get a room for himself and his twenty-year-old autistic brother, Shep. But in a nightmarish instant, Dylan is attacked by a mysterious "doctor," injected with a strange substance, and told that he is now a carrier of something that will either kill him...or transform his life in the most remarkable way. Then he is told that he must flee - before the doctor's enemies hunt him down for the secret circulating through his body. No one can help him, the doctor says, not even the police." "Stunned, disbelieving, Dylan is turned loose to run for his life...and straight into an adventure that will turn the next twenty-four hours into an odyssey of terror, mystery - and wondrous discovery." "It is a journey that begins when Dylan and Shep's path intersects with that of Jillian Jackson. Before that evening Jilly was a beautiful comedian whose biggest worry was whether she would ever find a decent man. Now she too is a carrier. And even as Dylan tries to convince her that they'll be safer sticking together, cold-eyed men in a threatening pack of black Suburbans approach, only seconds before Jilly's classic Coupe DeVille explodes into thin air." Now the three are on the run together, but with no idea whom they're running from - or why. Meanwhile Shep has begun exhibiting increasingly disturbing behavior. And whatever it is that's coursing through their bodies seems to have plunged them into one waking nightmare after another. Seized by sinister premonitions, they find themselves inexplicably drawn to crime scenes - just minutes before the crimes take place.

Got this today. I'm so happy!

Enjoyed the poetry quotations and illustrations at the front; can't wait to read more of it (I only indulge in Koontz when at least one of my kids is home from college, 'cause his scenes are so scary)!

Thanks very much for the book.

At last: another wonderful Koontz thriller as good as Cold Fire or From the Corner of His Eye!

I've been very disappointed in the last two or three books I've read by this author, so I was thrilled to become instantly immersed in the plot and sympathetic to the characters here just like I was back when I first discovered Koontz.

Dylan, Shep, Jilly, and Marjorie make a perfect adventuring group. The atmospheric descriptions are superb, and the humor is just right.

It was a huge pleasure to read this over Memorial Day weekend (shhhhh... this copy's being mailed to another BCer as a bookray surprise).

Received this in the mail as part of cat02886's ABC Bookray. I have enjoyed the few Koontz books I have read, so am looking forward to this one. Thanks.

This was very different from some of his other books that I have read. I really enjoyed the characters and the storyline, although it is so close to being reality. The way the book ended makes me believe there could be sequels out there so I will have to investigate.

Sending it off for a Happy Day Rayback surprise.
