My favorite Dean Koontz books have long been his action-packed thrillers, whether they have an element of sci-fi and/or the supernatural or not. It seemed many of his more recent books over the past dozen years or so had lost that edge, that excitement, so I've not been very interested lately. Having said that, I still have hope and that hope has finally been rewarded with a thrill-a-page book that burns rubber off the first page and never lets up. If I had one criticism, it would be that, while Jane Hawk is a fascinating character that is pretty well-developed, many of the other characters seem a bit one dimensional, more stereotype than archetype. But, considering how much I enjoyed the story, and how much I want to read the next title in the series, I'll let that slide for the moment.
