Declarative sentences! Non-stop action! Robotic personal interactions. Wooden dialog! Borrowed plot. Unoriginal ideas. Bad sex! Hokey ending. ( )

Jim Ironheart, a man of mystery, and Holly Thorne, a reporter from Portland, hook up in southern California to unlock the secret of Jim's incredible ability to predict dire circumstances under which someone is destined to die.... and in foreseeing it, he steps in and is able to thwart the machinations of fate.

I've only read a few other Koontz books, but this one I really enjoyed because I couldn't see where the plot was going. I love being surprised by a book and this one just kept throwing plot twists throughout. It was suspenseful and original and I couldn't predict it, which in my mind, makes a great read. ( )

Not all Dean Koontz books are the same. This is worse than the others, and is no fun to read. ( )

On an impulse, schoolteacher Jim Ironheart flies to Portland, Oregon without understanding why. There he saves a boy from being killed by a drunk driver and is observed by Holly Thorne.
