Booklist (starred review)

“[A] spectacular, action-packed, character-driven adventure…Koontz remains white hot with another certain bestseller.”

Kirkus Reviews

“Colorful, imaginative…a lively, offbeat novel.”

AARP

“A terrifying new tale…A fast-paced, hold-your-breath thriller with a heart.”

Associated Press

“Vivid…”

Red Carpet Crash

“Dean Koontz is the master of this kind of story. His imagination has no limits and with each book he seems to top himself. It makes you wonder what traveling to other worlds might truly be like.”

The Big Thrill

“Some authors have used the sci-fi genre to create other worlds and critique the current world politics or realities. Koontz’s interests lay elsewhere. He’s more concerned with the human condition that remains the same across time and space and that cannot be remedied by ideology.”

Bookreporter

“This is a genre-busting work that happily will appeal to readers who enjoy thrillers, horror, sci-fi or just a flat-out well-told story with a breakneck pace that never lets up.”
