About this ebook

Fear, compassion, evil, courage, hope, wonder, the exquisite terror of not knowing what will happen on the next page to characters you care about deeply—these are the marvels that Dean Koontz weaves into the unique tapestry of every novel. His storytelling talents have earned him the devotion of fans around the world, making him one of the most popular authors of our time, with more than 200 million copies of his books sold worldwide.

Christopher Snow is different from all the other residents of Moonlight Bay, different from anyone you've ever met. For Christopher Snow has made his peace with a very rare genetic disorder shared by only one thousand other Americans, a disorder that leaves him dangerously vulnerable to light. His life is filled with the fascinating rituals of one who must embrace the dark. He knows the night as no one else ever will, ever can—the mystery, the beauty, the many terrors, and the eerie, silken rhythms of the night—for it is only at night that he is free.

Until the night he witnesses a series of disturbing incidents that sweep him into a violent mystery only he can solve, a mystery that will force him to rise above all fears and confront the many-layered strangeness of Moonlight Bay and its residents.

Once again drawing daringly from several genres, Dean Koontz has created a narrative that is a thriller, a mystery, a wild adventure, a novel of friendship, a rousing story of triumph over severe physical limitations, and a haunting cautionary tale.

This ebook edition contains a special preview of Dean Koontz’s The Silent Corner.

Ratings and reviews

It seemed as though Koontz felt he needed to fill the four hundred pages with words, rather than story. His overly descriptive verbiage, especially during the early chase scene and then again and again as he introduced new characters, did nothing for the plot. Dialogue is not his forte and I had to skim the majority of the first half of the book, just to keep my interest. With regard to the second half, well, I'll never know. Thankfully, I only paid $3 for this stinker and am in no mood to struggle through the remaining pages. As in so many poorly written television or movie dramas, it takes forever for any of the players to get to the point and, in the mean time, they just might die.

I like Odd Thomas and others, but my all time favorite Dean Koontz character is Christopher Snow, his friends & foes (Fear Nothing & Seize the Night), and Moonlight Bay (and the FORT!). How unfortunate Mr. Koontz abandoned Christopher Snow with so much promise unrealized!!! I like reading Dean Koontz, but now I search his new books just to find a continuation of this story. Tormented, I don't think I care to read anything else by Mr. Koontz. To me his other work else is faded and pale.

I love the weirdness of this story, the unveiling of madness created by the shadowy agencies of government. Mostly I loved Orson, Christopher Snow and his loyal and very cool friends.
