Never a dull moment... one of Dean Koontz best novels in my opinion. It is not as gruesome or disturbing as some of his novels. It also has a lot of mystery with such a creative storyline.

I have read almost all of Dean Koontz's books and this has to be one of my favorites. If you haven't read any of his books, or if you have only read some of his early books you need to read this one. For those that don't know, his style of writing has went through some changes over the years. He went from Horror (almost against his will he wrote horror in the beginning) to something better. There are still scary "horror-ish" moments but it's not horror anymore. My favorite thing about his books now is the good guy almost always wins in the end but you are never sure while reading the book. (His endings are not predictable)

Back to this book - Some people's lives seem doomed from the start.. or charmed. I can't even explain what this means without giving away part of the story.Just read this book if you enjoy a good scary mystery with a sweet love story and a tiny bit of a sci-fi twist. It's good, I promise!

I read this book back in the early 90's and LOVED it so much I shared it with family. Everyone who read it also got hooked on Dean Koontz novels. One of the best reads I've ever found. I have since devoured almost all DK book and most recently loved the Odd Thomas series. You won't be disappointed with this one!

As is typical of many of Koontz novels, this one starts out with mysterious men conducting experiments of a nefarious nature. A batravel, suspense filled read, Lightning managed to capture my attention throughout most of it (and it was long!). My attention only began to wane near the end of the book when the adventure bit and war talk took center stage.

I love this book!It scared the pants off me!A real page turner to the very end.You gotta read it!
