Years later, in the wake of another storm, Laura will be saved again. For someone is watching over her. Is he the guardian angel he seems? The devil in disguise? Or the master of a haunting destiny beyond all time and space?

My favorite, Dean Koontz, book of all time!

I read this book as a teenager, and have reread it in every decade of my life cents. It continues to touch me on so many levels. Every time I read it it’s not a gory scary, but like some of his art I love the characters and the magic.

Great Audio Book

Koontz keeps the pace moving in this thriller! The story line is a bit dated, but it was also fun to relive the 80s.
