liked it

I gave it 3 stars, maybe should be 3.5. My wife really liked this book, I thought it pretty good, somewhat enjoyable. Time travel, reformed Nazi...will anyone save the day. That would be a spoiler. Like I said, not bad. I dropped it to 3 because I usually give a 4 to better books...hard to explain huh?

There are some odd moments and a few "duh" moments. There are some questionable decisions by the characters but all in all not a bad book. I'm not sure why some get very involved (as my wife did) and others find themselves only mildly interested (me) but whichever audience you fall into I don't think you'll regret this read. At best you'll love it, at worst it's one of Mr. Koontz's middle of the road efforts.

With a fairly interesting take on time travel including it's own set of "time travel rules" it may appeal to to some science fiction buffs as well as fantasy and horror fans.

Enjoy.

I'm going to update this for 2 reasons...one I found and egregious typo. Oops.

The other is I do want to mention for those who might be bothered that one of the recurring villainous types in the book are pedophiles. So, be aware.

I love classic Koontz, back when he was more interested in being imaginative and shocking than in trying to deliver some sort of high-handed moral message, but I missed this one somehow. I'll have to dig out the tattered paperback copy at some point and give it a read.


Austin Smith I kind of agree. I thought it was just okay / mediocre. Not bad, but definitely not one of my favorite Koontz novels.
