Chase

By: Dean Koontz

Narrated by: Nick Podehl

A frightening novella from the #1 New York Times master of suspense…

Ben Chase is a war hero, but a reluctant one. He struggles with bitter memories and feels alienated from the culture to which he has returned. When he claims that a psychopath is stalking him, he has by then made such an outsider of himself that no one believes him. He must resurrect the repressed warrior within to save himself and a woman he comes to love. Heroes need monsters to slay, and they can always find them - within if not without.

The motivations of the characters was weak

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

Yes, because I love Dean Koontz. He never fails to entertain even if it's not one of his best works.

What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?

There are really only three people in the story and the murder. I had problems with the time sequences and the motivation of the antagonist. It wasn't buffed out as well as it could have.
The least interesting part of the story was the shell shock that the protagonist suffered. I grew tired of hearing about it and how it was crippling his life, yet he was able to function. 'Let's just get on with it'.

Which scene was your favorite?

When he tricked the bad guy

Do you think Chase needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

No, NO, NO, NO. He was not the most interesting person I've ever met in literature and I would not miss him if I never met him again. Odd Thomas is better.

Any additional comments?

It was a good 'one-time thing but not again.

good for a short one...highly recommended.

I have enjoyed all Koontz books except Your Heart Belongs to Me...no meaning and no ending....but this one was good

Left me wanting more

As always, Dean Koontz never fails to leave the reader entertained. I get why he ended the book the way he did, however, there’s still room for more. I enjoyed it.

Chase

Mr. Koontz never lets me down!! Always a thrill ride and the good guys win

Another Koontz Masterpiece.

I have read and listened to so many Koontz books and am amazed that I haven could one that I didn't throughly enjoy.

A Short Wow

A very quick read; not like most King novels, this one could happen to anyone. Published in 1971, Love interest for our Vietnam war depressed hero makes him feel like life is worth living. Good characters, nice twists. The hero takes the situation in his hands and does the right thing. I liked it.

Amazing performance!

As always, a wonderful exciting book from Dean Koontz. The performance was wonderful, what with all the amazing voices that the reader was able to do. Highly recommend that you get this book.

Yes!! Another Awesome Audio!!

I loved it!! The book as well as the audio. Mr. Podehl is great!! his breath of Ben; is felt through every word spoken. I am a great fan of Dean Koontz; and believe that it takes just as great narrators to introduce any of Dean Koontz novels!! which Mr. Podehl; has done!!- I am glad to have gotten this audio. Aloha.
