Dean Koontz shows his tremendous writing ability throughout this book. The first time I read this book, all I was concerned about was what was happening in this apocalyptic story, but reading it this time I was able to concentrate on how incredible the writing is throughout this book. Dean Koontz excels in this genre between thriller and horror with expertise and dramatic plot surprises. This is another one of Koontz' many books which are nearly impossible to put down until you have finished reading.

The story starts with Molly being awaken in the night of the night by a torrential downpour. Dean quickly advances the story as Molly and her husband, Neil, begin to figure out what is happening to their small town named Black Lake. After some strange things happen in their home, they decided that the happenings are probably alien invaders from another world bent on total annihilation. They are sent on a journey through suffering, destruction, and death all over the town. Despite the terrible circumstances, Molly and Neil remain hopeful that they might make it through this experience.

This is a must read to any fan of Koontz. And in my opinion, this was one of his best stand-alone stories of the more recent years.
