Product Description
Product Description
Although accident victim Hatch Harrison dies en route to the hospital, a brilliant physician miraculously resuscitates him. Given this second chance, Hatch and his wife Lindsey approach each day with a new appreciation of the beauty of life - until a series of mysterious and frightening events brings them face to face with the unknown.
Although Hatch was given no glimpse of an afterlife during the period when his heart had stopped, he has reason to fear that he has brought a terrible presence back with him... from the land of the dead. When people who have wronged the Harrisons begin to die violently, Hatch comes to doubt his own innocence - and must confront the possibility that this life is just a prelude to another, darker place.

Format:Paperback
The synopsis at the back of the book does not prepare you for the fright you will feel when you read this book. Koontz does not specialize in gore, choosing instead to bring to the fore of our minds our hidden fears or insinuate fears we did not know we could conceive. He is a genius at psychological manipulations and you will know visceral fear. The plot is a great one and moves at a galloping pace. This book's basic premise seems simple enough, but its implications are spellbinding, heartbreaking and truly fearsome. As usual, the characters are ones you can relate to, and feel compassion for, even pray for. The compulsion to peek at the end before you reach it will at times be overwhelming, just to set your mind at ease, but you'll be glad you built up to the climax. First rate!

This was a finely written novel...scary and gripping-a real page-turner.
A stylish, dark and totally enthralling thriller which crackles with energy, menace and surprises.
Awesome!

i really enjoyed this book as i do with most of Dean Koontz stories, it was kept at a pace which i enjoy. It was one of those "don't talk to me I'm reading" books which my children hate me reading because i don't pay them any attention!!!

Good - but not his best!!
I've been a big fan of Dean Koontz for a number of years and must admit to being a bit disapponted with this one. It isn't in any way bad, I simply found it average. Read more
