This is one of the stranger Dean Koontz books I have read. It has received wide acclaim and a lot of people think it is one of his best, though I'm not among them, I have to admit that it held my interest and kept me turning pages. The story is very interesting and unique, its unlike any horror book I have read before. The plot concerns a woman who struggles through life, orphaned at a young aged and menaced by pedophiles in the orphanage where she lives. Somehow, a mysterious stranger always shows up to rescue her when things get ugly. Who is this stranger, and why does he never seem to age? The answer is a mystery that will surprise you.
