Narrator was often whispering or accentuating the end of words which sometimes made it hard to hear and understand. This is a book I really needed the print with the audio. Many characters were great, some deplorable, but all were very realistic, I had no problem believing it could happen especially in the current political climate in which we are living. Liked the ending but agree with another reviewer that it wasn't fully developed. That said, I still list Koontz as an outstanding author. I loved the fox! FROM AMAZON: In retreat from a devastating loss and crushing injustice, Katie lives alone in a fortress like 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. Fast and fun suspense thriller. Reminds me of the early books in this author's catalog and I enjoyed it very much. Everyone who reads Dean Koontz knows that he loves words and tends toward the verbose. The long passages of descriptive prose can get a bit much at times, but I do enjoy his imagination. Memorable characters and lots of action makes the pages flip faster. Katie has endured a terrible loss and now lives in a fortified house on her own island retreat. Unfortunately, her hermit-like existence comes to an abrupt end when the secret government research facility located a couple of miles away from her, Ringrock Island, experiences a catastrophic failure that allows a horrible entity to escape. Just enjoyed the ride, didn't try to make it political or analyze the text. The story was entertaining even if a bit far-fetched. I always like the way he involves animals in his stories, and this was no exception. All I did was root for the good guys to win! sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
