Book description
'There is an Enemy. It is coming. It is relentless.' Schoolteacher Jim
Ironheart flies on an impulse to Portland, Oregon. There he risks his
life to save a child from being killed. Reporter Holly Thorne witnesses
his heroism, and is impressed by his self-effacement when he declines to
be interviewed. Burnt out, cynical, and looking for a life beyond
journalism, Holly finds her newshound's instincts rekindled when she
discovers Jim has quietly performed twelve last-minute rescues in twelve
far-flung places over the past four months. Realising she is on to the
biggest story of her life, Holly traces Jim to California. He insists he
is not a psychic; he simply believes God is working through him. Holly
thinks his explanation is too easy, that there is no wonder in life, no
great mystery. She is dead wrong. For she and Jim are soon plunged into
a dark sea of wonder, mystery - and stark terror. And, on the run for
their lives, they will be forced to confront a savage and uncannily
powerful adversary... Dean Koontz was born into a very poor family and
learned early on to escape into fiction. His novels have sold over 200
million copies worldwide and more than thirty have appeared on national
and international bestseller lists. He lives in southern California with
his wife, Gerda and a vivid imagination.
