Title: solid Koontz
Product review: Koontz is a writer who delivers consistent, well-crafted and well-plotted stories, and he's pretty reliable. You know what you're getting. Here you get his usual formula--"ordinary guy thrown into extraordinary circumstances, forced to be self-reliant in solving his problems." Koontz has astute insight into human nature, even if his fantasies are rather high-minded and the protagonists are just a bit to perfect and the rest of the world just a little too suspect and grasping. This story unfolds in a well-paced manner as the writer protagonist deals with the horror. The showdown segments are a bit by-the-numbers, but Koontz's command of craft keeps you turning pages even though you know where you're going. Recommended.
