ReviewsPraise for Dean Koontz #1 New York Times Bestseller "America's most popular suspense novelist." -- Rolling Stone "Koontz has always had near-Dickensian powers of description and an ability to yank us from one page to the next that few novelists can match." -- Los Angeles Times "Tumbling, hallucinogenic prose." -- New York Times Book Review "Dean Koontz is not just a master of our darkest dreams but also a literary juggler." -- The Times (London) "Dean Koontz writes page-turners, middle-of-the-night-sneak-up-behind-you suspense thrillers. He touches our hearts and tingles our spines." -- Washington Post Book World "Koontz has a knack for making the bizarre and uncanny seem as commonplace as a sunrise. Bottom line: the Dean of Suspense." -- People magazine "Positively twitching with suspense. Another sure-fire hit from a thriller master." -- Booklist (starred review) "If Stephen King is the Rolling Stones of novels, Koontz is the Beatles." -- Playboy "A superb plotter and wordsmith. He chronicles the hopes and fears of our time in broad strokes and fine detail, using popular fiction to explore the human condition [and] demonstrating that the real horror of life is found not in monsters but within the human psyche." -- USA Today "Far more than a genre writer. Characters and the search for meaning, exquisitely crafted, are the soul of his work. This is why his novels will be read long after the ghosts and monsters of most genre writers have been consigned to the attic. One of the master storytellers of this or any age." -- Tampa Tribune "Dean Koontz almost occupies a genre of his own. He is a master at building suspense and holding the reader spellbound." -- Richmond Times-Dispatch "Demanding much of itself, Koontz's style bleaches out clichés while showing a genius for details. He leaves his competitors buried in the dust." -- Kirkus Reviews "Another A-plus thriller from a writer on a serious winning streak." -- Booklist (starred review), "A tragedy has sent a young artist into seclusion. A potential apocalypse may be enough to bring her back." -- Kirkus Reviews

SynopsisSoon no one on Earth will have a place to hide in this novel about fears known and unknown by #1 New York Times bestselling master of suspense Dean Koontz. In retreat from a devastating loss and crushing injustice, Katie lives alone in a fortresslike stone house on Jacob's Ladder island. Once a rising star in the art world, she finds refuge in her painting. The neighboring island of Ringrock houses a secret: a government research facility. And now two agents have arrived on Jacob's Ladder in search of someone--or something--they refuse to identify. Although an air of menace hangs over these men, an infinitely greater threat has arrived, one so strange even the island animals are in a state of high alarm. Katie soon finds herself in an epic and terrifying battle with a mysterious enemy. But Katie's not alone after all: a brave young girl appears out of the violent squall. As Katie and her companion struggle across a dark and eerie landscape, against them is an omnipresent terror that could bring about the end of the world., Soon no one on Earth will have a place to hide in this novel about fears known and unknown by #1 New York Times bestselling master of suspense Dean Koontz.
