Publisher's summary

He was clinically dead after the accident - but was miraculously revived. Now Hatch Harrison and his wife approach each day with a new appreciation for life.

But something has come back with Hatch from the other side: a terrible presence that links his mind to a psychotic's, so that a force of murderous rage courses through him.

Critic reviews

"Fiercely exciting...a slam-bang finale." ( Kirkus Reviews)
"A dual reading by Michael Hanson and Carol Cowan heightens the drama in a way the written word could never achieve. With this narrative choice, readers receive a clear, strong and effective audio horror story which is just about impossible to stop listening to." ( The Bookwatch)

Very enjoyable

A bit too graphic regarding grossness and violence so if you’re squeamish stay away, but otherwise it’s a good read.

Hideaway

Vassago (I heard Massago?) is the most singularly evil character I have encountered in a long while. Delicious. Carol Cowen's Regina was perfect. Last quarter of the book seemed to drag on a bit, and I was hoping for a more painful end for the villain.

Meh

The storyline became a little too predictable. The characters were poorly developed and didn't seem to behave like real people would. The author kept referring to characters that are well established in the storyline as if they were being introduced for the first time and it drove me crazy.

Dean Koontz never fails to entertain and enlighten

Anything by Dean Koontz is bound to leave a reader entertained, enlightened, and feeling immeasurably better than when you first picked up the book.

Captivating!

The “precocious” one made me laugh out loud. That’s hard to do. You feel for the characters and it’s a pleasure to read or hear. There is an interview with the author afterwards. I never listen to those. I did this time. It made me like the author even more. All around entertaining book!

Very good

I like it! You think you know where it’s headed. But, then you don’t. And it simply is all of the things Dean Koontz, says he likes to write! Suspense, love, mystery! Job well done! Great read or listen!
