As with most of Mr. Knootz’s early books- this one was “unputdownable!)
If you love dogs, you will love it.
Although it wasn’t what I expected, I did enjoy reading this book. There were several plot lines going at the same time and I did not always see where they were leading. But all came together in the end and the good guys won.
Great read! A real page Turner. Once I started reading, the book became more and more intense. A really unexpected ending.
This author has written several books he is next in line along with Stephen King his character is always wonderful his novels are very good
The best Dean Koontz book and the only one I really recommend to everyone.

If you love dogs and Dean Koontz book’s this is his best ever!
I love any book that has a dog as one of the main characters and this book did not disappoint.
If you like Koontz, you will really like this one.
Really enjoyed this book. Had a hard time putting it down.
I recommend anyone who loves animals to read this book. One of the better books off Book Bub that I have gotten.
Love dean Koontz and this was the very first of his books I read. My mom brought it home from the library and had me read it after she finished it. Long time fan – I read all his as they come out.
Loved it.
This is an amazing book!!! I loved it. I believe this was one of Mr Koontz’s first books and I have read most of them. Super cool.
This was the book that got me totally hooked on Koontz. I absolutely love everything about the book – even the bad guys
I loved the interactions of the main characters, but tried to skip as much as I could about the antagonist. He was just too violent and disturbed. His character could have been very effective without this level of ‘disturbance’. The two parts of the book didn’t really match up very well. So 4 stars if really good for 1/2 of a book.
I CONSUMED this wonderful book!
This is a really good book!
