Night Chills
by Dean Koontz
Koontz has visited the Manchurian coersion/mind control/body snatcher concept from this book at least 7 times over the years (including the 5 books in the Jane Hawk series) and it's always interesting, though Night Chills feels a little flat by comparison to the others. It was written in the 70's which leads me to believe that this was his first "Manchurian" book so that may explain why he was compelled to revisit and explore the idea so many times in greater detail later in his career.
It felt like the story was over before it got started. The takeover of Black River, the unfortunate town in the book, died before it began and it left me feeling a little underwhelmed. The climax of the book is highly anticlimactic so I can't rank it among my favorite Koontz offerings.
Decent, but only a must-read for the "Manchurian" completists.
