Title: Very good! Some problems...
Product review: I'd have given this great supernatural thriller five stars if it weren't for the numerous instances of inconsistancies and plain ignorance. A problem I noticed immediately is the author's apparent ignorance of firearms. He makes reference to a .38 AUTOMATIC, a .45 revolver (NOT Long Colt, a police officers weapon) and one weapon even changes from an automatic 9mm to a revolver in 2 pages. The behavior of police is also amateurish. Six officers respond to an empty city, discover it is indeed full of the mysterious dead and instead of immdiately retreating and calling 'reinforcements' continue exploring WITH civilians in tow. They also seem to be unable to communicate via radio with each other. An author as prolific and successful as Koontz should be above such mistakes.Still, it's a great book and I highly recommend it. I'm just picky, especially as regards firearms and police procedure.
