    “A beautifully written novel of suspense and terror. Koontz’s writing does not labor along—it races.”
    Copley News Service

    “Koontz brings the reader immediately to the sleepless edge of his seat and keeps him there. The gleam of technology and science suffuses a tale that so easily could have been lost in mysticism. Here indeed is the primal night scream redefined in a new setting, and again and again I found myself thinking, ‘What a movie this could make!’”
