Description

A “superior thriller”(Oakland Press) about a man, a dog, and a terrifying threat that could only have come from the imagination of #1 New York Times bestselling author Dean Koontz—nominated as one of America’s best-loved novels by PBS’s The Great American Read.

On his thirty-sixth birthday, Travis Cornell hikes into the foothills of the Santa Ana Mountains. But his path is soon blocked by a bedraggled Golden Retriever who will let him go no further into the dark woods.

That morning, Travis had been desperate to find some happiness in his lonely, seemingly cursed life. What he finds is a dog of alarming intelligence that soon leads him into a relentless storm of mankind’s darkest creation...

    You will laugh, you will cry, you will be on the floor looking up at the world from a “fur face” perspective! However if you are fortunate enough to see joy and love and loyalty above all then you just may see or feel the face of God………. or of Dog…. Trust me it’s a wonderful feeling…. I’ve read and enjoyed many of your books…. but none as much as this one…. I cannot begin to thank you enough Mr. Koontz

    The love Travis bestowed on Einstein and Nora made me cry. The wordmanship in the writing held me on every sentence. Marvelous read.

    At times, there was too much detail regarding scenery and commentary that was not necessary to keep the story going. But I have to still give it a 5. The themes ran deep in this book, and I cried at the end. Very few books have ever had me crying at the end. Well done!

    I admit I first read this because I couldn’t see Corey Haim in the movie. Initially I was disappointed his character isn’t in the book, but I still loved it. I’ve read it 7x
