A slow drawn out read. The ending was brilliant and worth the effort. I think this would have been a better short story.

A young woman came to in a hospital in a town she had never heard of and was told she was in a bad car accident. She can't remember anything about where they told her they worked. And dead men from a terrible incident in her youth are everywhere in this hospital and are threatening her......very good and with a completely surprise ending.

Dean Koontz is a master of his trade. This little gem of a book was memorable to me. The protagonist is a woman who wakes up in a hospital with amnesia, and she (with us along for the ride) must unravel what happened to her. Great!

This was a good book, however I wasn't able to get into like his others. The ending is really strange, you definitly don't see it coming.

Who are the 4 shadowy strangers waiting in the corridors. Step by step she unlocks her mind, and step by step she approaches the single most frightening night of her life...waged by 4 men in the House of Thunder.

Not close to being the best effort of Dean Koontz. It was an amusing read, but not up to the quality of other titles.

Another page turner by that master of suspense and horror. All these terrible, mysterious events take place, and Susan Thorton gradually learns that NO ONE is on her side . . .
I'm extremely glad that I didn't pick up this novel to read during my hospital stay a few months back. I'd never have slept again!

From inside cover: She woke up in a hospital room, barely able to remember her own name. What secrets lay hidden within Susan Thorton's mind? What terrible accident brought her here? And who were the four shadowy strangers--waiting, like death--in the darkened corridors? One by one, Susan unlocked these mysteries. And step by step, she approached the torment of her past--a single night of violence, waged by four young men in THE HOUSE OF THUNDER.
