Devoted

As a die-hard Dean Koontz fan for more years than I can remember, it has been a while since coming back to one of Dean's alternate worlds. And my god, I was not disappointed.

While I do not normally read books that stray this far from reality, Dean has always had a way of creating a fictional world that seems so possible and true that you almost forget that these situations don't exist. DEVOTED was a perfect example.

Woody and his mother, Megan have been living a private life since his father was killed in a work-related helicopter accident. Woody, a high-functioning autistic boy who has not spoken a word in his 11 years, finds himself uncovering the truth behind his father's death while investigating the company he worked for and the men behind it. What he doesn't know yet is that he is gifted in ways he could never imagine and his connection to some special canine friends may just be the thing that not only saves Woody and his mom, but mankind.

A deeply moving story filled with incredible bonds of love and canine friendship. And as we always expect from Dean, one amazing Golden Retriever!
