Product Description
Product Description
A surgeon, a writer, a motel-keeper, a priest and a thief; they have nothing in common - nothing but one hot summer night at the Tranquillity Motel: a night filled with unending terror; a night when an awesome power stripped them of their memories.
Now the evil is creeping back into their minds. Slowly, tauntingly, maddeningly they are recalling the unspeakable events of that fateful moonlit evening. And as the vision of evil grows clearer, the guests of the Tranquillity Motel seek each other out. Some of them will not live to face the power head on. But some will - in a terror-packed climax unlike anything ever experienced before...

Format:Paperback
Havung read all 40 Dean Koontz books I feel I am in a position to be able to judge pretty well the qualities of his work. And this one is definately one of his best. For me it is his best book along with Watchers. It is a longer book than most of his (over 700 pages compared to the average 500) but I never lost interest and it kept me hooked chapter after chapter. If you haven't read this book do. You will not be dissappointed !!

Across the miles of America strangers are dreaming the same nightmare. What is the connection between all these strangers? Why do they wake calling "the moon"? In "Strangers" Koontz explains these phenomenon but the truth is far more than anything the sufferers had suspected. As the story progressed I felt, myself, the fear and exaltation experienced by Koontz' characters as the secrets of their nightmares were revealed one by one. Stephen King said "The best novel he has written …" and he is probably right. Reading is believing, so read it and feel the power only Koontz can portray.

Simply put, this is the best bit of fiction I have read thus far, untouchable by many regards.
There is a continuous introduction to the characters while the plot develops that keeps you engrossed. Rather like a small child, surprised that they have learnt a new skill, you become enthralled by Koontz' descriptions of detail.
So what has caused the people to freak out wildly, something unnatural to themselves? Why on Earth have they become so reluctant to sleep? Sure enough as you turn the page you'll find out the plight of big-shot doctors to up and coming authors (who I think Dean Koontz has moulded as himself.)
This book will stay stuck to your hand even after you've finished it, just so that you can read it again. I absolutely loved it and I think without a shadow of a doubt it will be thoroughly enjoyed by others too.

Disappointing
Have been wanting to read this book for quite some time due to the high regard in which it seems to be held. Alas, I found it a struggle to get through. Read more

This was an exceptionally good read from one of my favourite authors. Loved the way the characters developed seperately and then came together. Read more

Great read
Great book, good plot, keeps you guessing to the end. Very good charachter creation. Only thing I would say is it seems quite long winded at times, you feel he could have made this... Read more

His best novel yet
I've always liked Dean Koontz, as he can be relied on for an entertaining (if sometimes a bit too far-fetched) read. Read more

Intriguing
I have been a fan of Koontz since I read Velocity and I really enjoyed reading this one, although i prefer his murder books most. I found this book to be utterly intriguing. Read more

A good read.
This book passes the time. It offers suspense and it is very much a thriller. Not horror. I was never felt any fear, only in a couple of scenes in the book. Read more
