There's talk that Koontz has repudiated this novel, and it's published under his name with a middle initial, unlike most of his other work. But it's a fun little novel and shouldn't be shamed either by the author or his readers. Is it perfect - nah. But it's good.

We are millennia into the earth's future after things have gone seriously awry. Some humans have been mutated, others consider themselves pure, though the pure ones aren't in very good shape with anything but their vanity. They are seriously underwhelming in their abilities. One impurity that arises in the mutants, and some pure humans, are ESP like abilities. Those abilities allow a ragtag group of mutants and one pure to go on a quest to find an alien presence that is show more believed to be behind both the origins and the destruction of the world.
