Still, overall, I am on board for this series, and hope the upcoming installments are on par with this one. But, because I was so relieved this book didn’t suck, like so many of Koontz recent offerings, I was willing to overlook a lot of that pandering, and slick production, which deprived the novel of a certain level of grittiness that would have served it well, in my opinion. I can see why this book would appeal to the video media- movies or television, although I dislike books written with this very thing in mind.

The pacing is very brisk, with little down time along the way, the plot is very well constructed, with most of the I’s dotted and t’s crossed.

I did enjoy the finer tech details, which made the story seem shockingly realistic, and does make for some pretty intense scenarios. Her maternal instincts coupled with her vigilante mission is a riveting juxtaposition amid Jane’s terrifying battle to stay one step ahead of the game and come out alive. Jane is an awesome protagonist with just the right balance of ‘bad ass’ and smarts, and human compassion. The horror she uncovers is a spine tingling world of brain implants and mind control, evil geniuses, bent on control, drunk on power and wealth, armed with technological advances that will both blow your mind and keep you up at night. The FBI agent quickly realizes her findings have made someone very nervous, which prompts her to relocate her son to a safe place, while she goes in search of answers. This is the best Koontz novel I have read in a very long time.Īfter Jane’s decorated husband commits suicide, she detects a noticeable uptick in suicides, prompting her to do a little research into the matter.
