Critic reviews

"The paradox in time travel's tampering with history provides an interesting twist in this gripping thriller by a popular writer." (Library Journal)

Awesome as usual from Koontz.

Listened almost straight through without stopping. Couldn't wait to see what happened. 😊 Great familiar banter and humor intertwined with suspense.

Thrilling

very good book and storytelling. Kept me on the edge of my seat to the point that I listen to it literally everywhere I went. My Bluetooth speaker in the house turned on high as I worked at home and in the car even if it was just a 10-minute trip and back.

Koonz Best Work, amazing story telling

I couldn't put this one down! This is one of Koontz top 5! Maybe top 3!

Thunder and Lightning, Twists and Turns

The book was a very entertaining time travel novel with thunder and lightning and twists and turns and will keep you guessing until the very end.

EXCELLENT STORY.

I love this book. It is definitely one of my favorites of Dean Koontz. I like the new twist on a couple of old stories. He establishes a set of well thought out rules and sticks to them.

Fun/Action/__?__! I refuse to spoil it!

I enjoyed this one! A little predictable but it had a hand full of the elements that keep your attention! I'm pretty knowledgeable about the place in which the main male character is from & I'm fairly certain that a lot of you are too! That made it very interesting too!

Lightning is everything I expect from Dean Koontz!

Excellent, edge of the seat nail bitter brilliantly presented by Christopher Lane. Just make sure you have time to enjoy the entire thing in one sitting. You won't want to be interrupted.

loved

amazing book. wish it were extended into a series. author is a favorite of mine

Good story but long in coming

Where does Lightning rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

I would rank this book in the middle tear, because of the time the author used to get down to the actual story. The second half of the book is quite suspenseful, fast moving and interesting. Unfortunately the first half could put an Inseminate to sleep. This was my first book by Koontz and I felt that it would have been my last if I had not hung in there.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Lightning?

Time travel has always been an interesting idea. Not too many author's used the approach on the subject that Koontz delivers. Leaves you with an intriguing question on the good and evil that could be suffered if time travel was possible and abused.
