I loved this book. I had never read Koontz before and I was not disappointed. I just couldn't put it down. The protagonist was a genuinely likeable character with a secret, the lady he's protecting is feisty and brave, and the bad guy is genuinely creepy (I mean, if he reads a book and doesn't like the author's ideas, he tracks them down and kills them!).

It ended a little too neatly for my taste (I mean, *of course* Tim and Linda get together!), but it was a very enjoyable book and I would recommend it for anyone who likes suspense thrillers.
