The fate of the world is in the hands of a father and daughter in an epic novel of wonder and terror by Dean Koontz, the number one New York Times best-selling master of suspense.

Since his wife, Michelle, left seven years ago, Jeffy Coltrane has worked to maintain a normal life for himself and his 11-year-old daughter, Amity, in Suavidad Beach. It’s a quiet life, until a local eccentric known as Spooky Ed shows up on their doorstep.

Ed entrusts Jeffy with hiding a strange and dangerous object - something he calls “the key to everything” - and tells Jeffy that he must never use the device. But after a visit from a group of ominous men, Jeffy and Amity find themselves accidentally activating the key and discovering an extraordinary truth. The device allows them to jump between parallel planes at once familiar and bizarre, wondrous and terrifying. And Jeffy and Amity can’t help but wonder, could Michelle be just a click away?

Jeffy and Amity aren’t the only ones interested in the device. A man with a dark purpose is in pursuit, determined to use its grand potential for profound evil. Unless Amity and Jeffy can outwit him, the place they call home may never be safe again.

Includes an audio-only short story, "Parlor Trick," a kind of karmic coda to the novel.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“Ballerini (a Koontz veteran) is tremendous, and Parks makes strong choices in diction, pronunciation, and pacing to bring Amity Coltrane to life. The collaborative effect of Ballerini and Parks' narration works as a deliberate “all-in” to the production, making the audio version even more of a standout.”—Booklist

“Colorful, imaginative…a lively, offbeat novel.” —Kirkus Reviews

“This is a genre-busting work that happily will appeal to readers who enjoy thrillers, horror, sci-fi or just a flat-out well-told story with a breakneck pace that never lets up.” —Bookreporter

Loved it!

Very interesting and entertaining book. Thumbs up to Dean Koontz. He always delivers a fantastic and imaginative tale with lots of twists and turns.
Great narrators.

Agree with other reviewers!

I have been binging audio books from Koontz for months now and I selected this title because I LOVE how E Ballerini reads Koontz's novels! I did not realize there would be multiple narrators so at first that wasn't a huge deal for me. I love the storyline and feel that E.B. delivers that amazing reality to Koontz's work, although at the same time I do feel that the female narrator was very lackluster for a better word. The storyline is great and so I pushed forward and was glad I did.

Psychotic!

The story was ok, I would have enjoyed the story more if it were about the travels without the psychotic freaks. I don't think you need to put sexual psychotic sadists into a story to sell it or at least a lot less detail there. You've written better Mr. Koontz.

A sicko story written by a real SICKO.

Dean Koontz is a SICKO‼️‼️‼️not worth the time i spent listening. There are better stories by better writers.

Great story but awful narrator

The story was actually pretty good and I enjoyed the plot.

However, the female narrator who plays the role of 11-year old Amity was terrible.

She mispronounced “t’s” as “d’s” throughout the entire story. Amity became “Amidy” and bitten became “bidden” and so on and so forth. It was so irritating it impacted my enjoyment of the story.
