Publisher's summary

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

When this relentless rogue FBI agent comes knocking, her adversaries will have to answer - with their lives - in this thrilling Jane Hawk novel by the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Silent Corner.

“Koontz continues the incredible saga of the robust character of Jane Hawk, and it’s as terrific as the others in the series.” - Associated Press

“We’re rewriting the play, and the play is this country, the world, the future. We break Jane’s heart, we’ll also break her will.”

She was one of the FBI’s top agents until she became the nation’s most-wanted fugitive. Now Jane Hawk may be all that stands between a free nation and its enslavement by a powerful secret society’s terrifying mind-control technology. She couldn’t save her husband, or the others whose lives have been destroyed, but equipped with superior tactical and survival skills - and the fury born of a broken heart and a hunger for justice - Jane has struck major blows against the insidious cabal.

But Jane’s enemies are about to hit back hard. If their best operatives can’t outrun her, they mean to bring her running to them, using her five-year-old son as bait. Jane knows there’s no underestimating their capabilities, but she must battle her way back across the country to the remote shelter where her boy is safely hidden...for now. As she moves resolutely forward, new threats begin to emerge: a growing number of brain-altered victims driven hopelessly, violently insane. With the madness spreading like a virus, the war between Jane and her enemies will become a fight for all their lives - against the lethal terror unleashed from behind the forbidden door.

Delicious...but...

Continuation of previous..has weird ending if you can call it that. Still, Koontz is one of my favorites forever! Never disappoints!

Captivating

Loved the story line, it had my attention from cover to cover but too much time was spent on character development for some of the peripheral characters.

The whole series is gripping!

If you are considering this book, go back and start with book 1 then be prepared to be useless til they are done!

AWESOME!!

All 4 books in this series did not disappoint.
I’m in love w/ Jane ‘badass’ Hawk! Ha 😄

Although I’m anxiously awaiting the final book, I’m sad to see this storyline come to an end.

how much antacid does the world need?

I must love this series. seriously though why does everyone have to stop for an extra strength antacid throughout? also does Jane ever eat anything but deli sandwiches and filet mignon with cabernet? a few odd pronunciations by reader as well. all in all a satisfying if not drawn out listen. hopefully the world will be saved in the next book.
