Meet Odd Thomas, the unassuming young hero of Dean Koontz’s dazzling New York Times bestseller, a gallant sentinel at the crossroads of life and death who offers up his heart in these pages and will forever capture yours. “The dead don’t talk. I don’t know why.” But they do try to communicate, with a short-order cook in a small desert town serving as their reluctant confidant. Sometimes the … reluctant confidant. Sometimes the silent souls who seek out Odd want justice. Occasionally their otherworldly tips help him prevent a crime. But this time it’s different.
A stranger comes to Pico Mundo, accompanied by a horde of hyena-like shades who herald an imminent catastrophe. Aided by his soul mate, Stormy Llewellyn, and an unlikely community of allies that includes the King of Rock ’n’ Roll, Odd will race against time to thwart the gathering evil. His account of these shattering hours, in which past and present, fate and destiny, converge, is a testament by which to live—an unforgettable fable for our time destined to rank among Dean Koontz’s most enduring works.

Odd Thomas is one of my favorite characters. I gobbled up all the books in this series. This first book that starts it all off is amazing. Just a regular guy who talks to ghosts and saves the world. Outstanding!
I’ve read all the Odd Thomas books more than once and enjoy them very much. Odd is such a likable character – just your everyday fry cook who finds himself in some interesting situations…
The story brought the characters to life and even had a few surprises. I ended up reading the whole series.
Great character building, and amazing scenes. Keeps you on the edge of your seat.
Odd Thomas is the best series ever! Re-read so many times.
