“No one’s more dangerous than a man who’s convinced of his own moral superiority,”
This story reads as classic Koontz and it should since it was originally published in 1994! Action packed, PNR feel to it, a man and his dog on a mission to find a woman, a dark entity of the government after him, and multiple side characters.
A chance meeting between Spencer and Valerie one evening leads to the love of a lifetime. Their story feels very ethereal (this is not a love story, it just happens to have love in it). Let’s not forget Spencer’s dog, Rocky, who has severe PTSD from a former owner, but loves high-speed car chases and orange juice.
This story is packed full of depressing and frightening US government facts. Like how our elected officials are exempt from assets seizure laws, and have their own retirement account (they don’t pay into Social Security like the rest of us povvos).
Political and corporate corruption is something every country knows about.
“Somehow we’ve allowed ourselves to be ruled by the greediest and most envious among us.”
I won’t even get into the serial killer bad guy and his gf. They are craaaazy.
Overall fun, but a little wordy. Easily could be 200 pages shorter and still get the same information across.
