For in the battle to come, there can be no innocent bystanders, and every sacrifice can tip the balance between despair and hope. Around him will gather new allies and old, some living and some not. Once again Odd will stand against our worst fears. But as Odd applies his unique talents to the task of finding the missing person, he discovers something worse than a dead body, encounters an enemy of exceptional cunning, and spirals into a vortex of terror. That’s the way Odd sees it and that’s why he’s won hearts on both sides of the divide between life and death.Ī childhood friend of Odd’s has disappeared. But as the unofficial ambassador between our world and theirs, he’s got a duty to do the right thing. Odd never asked to communicate with the dead - it’s something that just happened. For Odd lives always between two worlds in the small desert town of Pico Mundo, where the heroic and the harrowing are everyday events. But there’s so much more to any of us than meets the eye - and that goes triple for Odd Thomas. He’s the most unlikely hero you’ll ever meet - an ordinary guy with a modest job you might never look at twice. We’re all a little odd beneath the surface. With the emotional power and sheer storytelling artistry that are his trademarks, Koontz takes up once more the story of a unique young hero and an eccentric little town in a tale that is equal parts suspense and terror, adventure and mystery - and altogether irresistibly odd.
Now Dean Koontz returns with the novel his fans have been demanding. For such a character, one book is not enough - readers must know what happens next. Every so often a character so captures the hearts and imaginations of readers that he seems to take on a life of his own long after the final page is turned.
