Publisher's summary

After convincing a serial killer to confess, newspaper reporter Kolchak is offered an international assignment with massive coverage around the world. With fame and fortune finally within reach, he's ready to cover the story - until he's confronted by a mysterious monk who warns him that "the 72 must always be".

What this means is not explained. But before he knows it, Kolchak's dreams are invaded by inexplicable images warning him that every step he takes toward the big story is bringing him closer to death.

good enough listen.

I remember the TV show thought it would be nostalgic to listen to. It's not a bad story. I felt there were a few moments where I was wondering how does that fit in and it ended up it didn't. Johnny Heller saves it with, as always a great job doing what he is the best at.

Kolchak finally finds inner peace

Having being a fan of the great Kolchak since the start of his adventures, this might be a fitting​ conclusion for the great detective/reporter. Please keep in mind that "things that go bump in the night" will always be attracted to our hero.

nice but shortish story

Great for Kolchak fans. Not a long tale, but interesting. A couple of minor plot holes, minor.

Would’ve Made a great Episode for the Show


I was a fan of the Kolchak Night Stalker show back in the 70s. It was one of the first forays into unexplained phenomena. For those that aren't familiar with the show, the great Darin McGavin portrayed the title character in two tv films and a short lived show, as a reporter who uncovers vampires, werewolves and more. This show inspired a young man named Chris Carter to create the X-Files. McGavin even appeared in an episode. This original story fits the show and character perfectly. I read this book using immersion reading while listening to the audio book. Johnny Heller's voice is perfect, embodying the character to a T. As usual Kolchak finds himself drawn to the unusual. A great short story, very entertaining.

Classic

This is spot on Carl Kolckak. One of the luckiest monster hunters of all times. He is not a killer or superhero he is just a regular guy reporter. A must read for fantasy horror story people.

loved every minute of it.

I used to love the TV show when I was a kid back in the '80s my brother and I would watch it at like 1:00 in the morning. I like how they brought him into the new era. I found a new set of books I'm going to be buying.

Ants Lead The Way

Like the Kolchak TV series, this incorporates the impossible , made possible. Encountering a monk with a cryptic message Kolchak goes to the jungles of South America to search for a lost city. If you liked the series, you'll like this story.
