Resumen del Editor

An Amazon Charts, Wall Street Journal, and USA Today bestseller.

From Dean Koontz, the master of suspense, comes an epic thriller about a terrifying killer and the singular compassion it will take to defeat him.

“Canine or human, it is hard to find a more lovable character in fiction than Kipp. Devoted has every mark of a classic.” - Associated Press

Woody Bookman hasn’t spoken a word in his eleven years of life. Not when his father died in a freak accident. Not when his mother, Megan, tells him she loves him. For Megan, keeping her boy safe and happy is what matters. But Woody believes a monstrous evil was behind his father’s death and now threatens him and his mother. And he’s not alone in his thoughts. An ally unknown to him is listening.

A uniquely gifted dog with a heart as golden as his breed, Kipp is devoted beyond reason to people. When he hears the boy who communicates like he does, without speaking, Kipp knows he needs to find him before it’s too late.

Woody’s fearful suspicions are taking shape. A man driven by a malicious evil has set a depraved plan into motion. And he’s coming after Woody and his mother. The reasons are primal. His powers are growing. And he’s not alone. Only a force greater than evil can stop what’s coming next.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Readers who were wondering how Koontz could possibly follow up his remarkable Jane Hawk series can breathe a sigh of relief. His new novel finds him still at the top of his game…Scary, sickening (in that good way), and touching, this is a novel that will delight both the author's legion of fans and those who finally decide it's time to find out what this guy Koontz is all about." — Booklist (starred review)

"Canine or human, it is hard to find a more lovable character in fiction than Kipp. Devoted has every mark of a classic." —Associated Press

"A warm, deeply engrossing tale…Not to be missed." —Providence Journal

Wonderful!

Thank you Dean Koontz for continuing to to write such enthralling stories that convey hope for human kind.

Love a good Koontz story

I enjoyed the story. Koontz is a great author. The narrator did well. Dogs are great.

loved this book!

Absolutely loved this book. When I was listening, I would laugh and I cried, I even told my husband to shut up so I could hear what would happen next. If I had this book in hand it would be a stay up late to finish it kind of book.

letdown

Not the suspenseful Koontz I have known. bit of a letdown.. four more words complete

new world

the author's understanding of human nature is astounding, more so of dogs. A desired utopian world

A man/boy and his dog

I enjoyed this book more I think than any Dean Koontz book I’ve ever read. I didn’t expect to see a boy with autism, which touches my family and extended family. My beautiful and happy nieces and nephews, who all have dogs of their own. Mostly shih-tzus.

Great plot

Enjoyed this Dean Koontz adventure so very much. The character development and twists along with the intertwined stories was fascinating! The narrator was particularly interesting and made the suspense that much more intriguing.

Great Story

Loved the book ! Easy to listen. Story hooked you in and people in book ! WOW !!

Excellent!

Almost a sequel to Watchers... Almost... Would it be too much to ask? I've enjoyed Mr. Koontz's novels for over thirty years. I hope we get thirty more!

Surprisingly Excellent

I passed over this book a number of times, but finally decided to give it a try. I was very surprised that I enjoyed it greatly. It is a very satisfying story.
