![]() Ninguno Actualmente no hay Conversaciones sobre este libro. ![]() ![]() FROM AMAZON: Quinn Quicksilver was born a mystery—abandoned at three days old on a desert highway in Arizona. Raised in an orphanage, never knowing his parents, Quinn had a happy if unexceptional life. Until the day of “strange magnetism.” It compelled him to drive out to the middle of nowhere. It helped him find a coin worth a lot of money. And it practically saved his life when two government agents showed up in the diner in pursuit of him. Now Quinn is on the run from those agents and who knows what else, fleeing for his life. During a shoot-out at a forlorn dude ranch, he finally meets his destined companions: Bridget Rainking, a beauty as gifted in foresight as she is with firearms, and her grandpa Sparky, a romance novelist with an unusual past. Bridget knows what it’s like to be Quinn. She’s hunted, too. The only way to stay alive is to keep moving. Barreling through the Sonoran Desert, the formidable trio is impelled by that same inexplicable magnetism toward the inevitable. With every deeply disturbing mile, something sinister is in the rearview—an enemy that is more than a match for Quinn. Even as he discovers within himself resources that are every bit as scary. Wow, I just started reading this and I'm already hooked. FROM AMAZON: Quinn Quicksilver was born a mystery—abandoned at three days old on a desert highway in Arizona.

I have been a fan and a loyal follower of Dean Koontz for decades and always could count on getting a well written, exciting story from him...but his last couple of books have not really been his usual best. They're filled with way too much unnecessary description of everything from roads to towns to what the characters had for dinner. It was almost like Odd Thomas and Brother Odd had a baby and named it Quicksilver. The story got 4.5 stars from me, 1.Because it was NOT by any means a bad book and I have such fond memories of all those earlier books, and 2. Because there were some really good lines that got a chuckle...like this one..."The refrigerator was stocked with a variety of cheeses and lunch meats and at least forty bottles of Corona, and a small bowl contained four eyeballs." and "Fear of being thought cowardly by a beautiful woman is a major reason why men go to war, get in cage fights, wrestle alligators, and subject themselves to ballroom dancing lessons." And here I had always thought it was just the male gene:). sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
