I love time travel! I think Lightning is among Dean's best. Although Lightning is not ranked as one of my top 5 favorite Dean Koontz books, the novel surely has a home among the top 10 :-) Lightning is a beautiful story about the power each of us has to influence history in some small way.
Lightning was written in 1988 when the Also by Dean R. Koontz list included only the following titles:
WATCHERS
STRANGERS
PHANTOMS
WHISPERS
THE VISION
NIGHT CHILLS
Of course, this was before Koontz revealed his hidden identities under which he had written other books :-)
Dedication: To Greg and Joan Benford. Sometimes I think that you're the most interesting people we know. Then I always take two asprin and lie down. But the thought persists.
Quote at the beginning of PART ONE:
Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength; while loving someone deeply gives you courage.
-LAO TZU
Passages from the story:
"I don't know. It seemed like something . . . magical. Something I should keep to myself because if I shared it I'd break the spell...."
"You're my resident expert in the weird."
"Paradox! Paradox!"
"Fate is."

Quotes Dustin the wind Crazy little brown owl Liked
“She was fascinated with words. To her, words were things of beauty, each like a magical powder or potion that could be combined with other words to create powerful spells.”

Great! It is so, so nice to finally know for sure! Thanks so much! :-D (Now to update my read status and review it. lol!)
Being another huge Time Travel Novel fan, I'd love to hear a few of your faves. I'm always searching for a good TT story.
Dark Matter by Blake Crouch is the most recent one I've read. I loved that book and highly recommend it.
