A deadly hunt towards evil... Watchers is an unmissable thriller from bestselling author Dean Koontz, exploring conspiracy theories alongside a gripping struggle for survival. Perfect for fans of Stephen King and Richard Laymon. 'A winner. Give this one a straight 10 right across the board' - The San Francisco Examiner They escape from a secret government: two mutant creatures, both changed utterly from the animals they once were. And no one who encounters them will ever be the same again: a lonely widower; a ruthless assassin; a beautiful woman; a government agent. Drawn together in a deadly hunt, all four are inexorably propelled towards an evil beyond human imagining. What readers are saying about Watchers: 'This book is a tour de force! An utterly fantastic read with great plot and characterisation' 'A dazzling combination of suspense, horror, and romance' 'The best book I have ever read'

Read this multiple times several years ago. One of my faves of all time.
Really good storyline, waaaaaaaaaaay too descriptive though, I mean there is only so much detail and deep meaning people need...and the immortal guy didn't seem to really have much of a purpose other than offing people. I want a dog like Einstein! I loved the scrabble pieces idea, and I wanted to cry when the Outsider got to him.
Pacing and chilling elements aren't as strong as Phantoms, but the characters felt more prominent in Watchers.

This was my first Dean Koontz novel. I enjoyed the story. It had some boring moments where I lost interest and it was hard to keep reading, but I am really glad I stuck with it. The ending made the book well worth the read! Einstein and Nora were my favorite characters.
