Title: Watchers Recycled (badly)
Review: Well, I just finished "Fear Nothing" and I thought it was awful. Dean Koontz has written some excellent novels; Watchers, Lightning, Strangers. This was *not* one of them, merely a cheap knock off of some of his earlier work, spliced with howlingly bad surfer dialogue. The surfer dialogue is particularly annoying because it doesn't appear until nearly 150 pages into the book when Christopher Snow meets his surfer friend. After that meeting, bizarre surf metaphors and similes figure regularly into the main character's speech. Forget the lame "genetic infection" plot, what really scared me was the idea that surfer-speak might be contagious.
