Publisher's Summary

No one could have imagined Odd Thomas ever leaving the perfect, quirky comfort of Pico Mundo, least of all Odd himself. The little desert town that nurtured Odd all his life is the locus of everything he holds dear: his loyal friends, his ghostly confidants, and the place where he loved and lost his soul mate, the irreplaceable Stormy Llewellyn. Yet leave it he has, to embrace the solitude and peace of an isolated monastery high in the western mountains as he tries to find a way to live fully again.

But Odd has a knack for finding himself in the path of trouble no matter where he goes — even among the eccentric monks in their sanctuary and with his steady spirit companion, the King of Rock 'n' Roll, at his side. For a killer is stalking the ancient holy halls, and Odd is about to meet an enemy who eclipses any he has yet encountered.

Odd number: don't miss the first two audiobooks in this series, Odd Thomas and Forever Odd.

What the Critics Say

"The nice young fry cook with the occult powers is Koontz's most likeable creation." (The New York Times)
"An irresistibly offbeat mix of supernatural horror and laugh-out-loud humor." (Publishers Weekly)

From AudioFile

After three novels featuring the aptly named Odd Thomas, it's clear Dean Koontz has a winner. I like Odd Thomas! I want to read more about him, especially after the teasing ending of his latest and greatest adventure, BROTHER ODD. Actor David Aaron Baker has performed all three ""Odd"" novels, and it's hard to imagine anyone else doing the fourth. Baker captures the gentleness of Odd; the benevolent sadness of his brilliant 400-pound friend, Oswald; and the confident and godly monks with whom Odd sought refuge after his girlfriend was murdered. The peculiar young man, whose mother meant to name him ""Todd,"" sees demons called ""bodocks,"" which swarm in places where death and destruction are imminent. It's up to Odd to figure out the impending danger and stop it. © AudioFile 2007

I enjoyed this book but not as much as Forever Odd. If you enjoyed the other Odd Thomas books you will probably like this one too. After viewing the author’s Web site and his 20 reasons for writing Odd Hours I decided to ship the last book in this series.

Enjoyed this book. It had been a while since reading the first one, but easy to drop right on in with #2. Interesting story line.

Great character. The books get better as the series goes on. If you haven't read any of the Odd Thomas books, you are missing out on one of the best characters Koontz has ever created (along with Christopher Snow). Start this series asap, you will love it!

I was told by a friend to read Odd Thomas and I down loaded the wrong book. I loved it though. It peaked my fascination to read the first two books. I'm big Stephen King fan and found Koontz to be a great story teller, like King, but with much less vulgarity. I think I'm a fan. I would like to be more like Brother Odd.

By: Todd (Orlando, FL, USA)
October 20, 2008
I read the first two books in the Odd Thomas series - I really enjoyed the first one, but wasn't so much in love with the second. I continued on to this third entry mainly on the merit of the first book and my enjoyment of some of Dean Koontz's previous works. I am partway through the second half of this book and I don't think I'm going to finish it at this point. I felt really preached to by this book, like the author allowed his personal points of view on morality and faith to get in the way of good storytelling. I'm sure people of faith will counter that having a point of view in these areas makes for good storytelling itself but I signed up for a ghost story, not a pompous finger-wagging. It makes me reconsider whether I will read his other works in the future...
