Enter a world unlike any other. A world of the night. A world created brilliantly by master
suspense novelist Dean Koontz. The world where his blockbuster novels Fear
Nothing and Seize the Night are set. Welcome to Moonlight Bay, California, home
of Christopher Snow.
Forced to live in the shadows, Snow knows the night world better than the dark adversaries
that stalk his quiet town. And along with his exceptional dog Orson, and his friends, Snow
will challenge those who try to take advantage.
When you live in the darkness of Moonlight Bay as Christopher Snow does, and you are
desperately trying to save the day, you abide by two guiding principles: fear nothing
and seize the night!
Christopher Snow is different from all the other residents of Moonlight Bay. For
Christopher has made a strange peace with a very rare genetic disorder shared by only one
thousand other Americans, a disorder that leaves him extremely vulnerable to the light.
His life is filled with the fascinating rituals of one who must embrace the dark. It is
only at night that he is truly free. And then he witnesses a murder in the night--a murder
only he can solve.
While investigating the death of
his mother who was a scientist, Chris Snow discovers she was engaged in secret experiments
on a nearby military base, experiments which went wrong and which produced monsters. The
next he knows, the monsters come visiting and they are not friendly.
BOOK REVIEWS
Media Reviews
Publishers Weekly
As usual, Koontz presents a unique fictional world grounded in convincing detail; even the surf-lingo banter between the main characters plays its part, adding an ironic note that heightens tension. This is only the second book Koontz has written from a first-person point of view, and the ploy works well: Readers will be riveted to the narrative ... Koontz's familiar theme of life's victims defying the odds emerges here as
forcefully as it does in Sole Survivor and Intensity, but Snow's physical
limitation gives it a more dangerous and intriguing edge.
The Denver Post
Koontz has created his most unusual and interesting protagonist
ever....He manages to tweak the page-turning urge and keep the reader in suspense....This series of novels could turn out to be his most popular yet.
People
Terrormeister Dean Koontz's Adrenaline-pumping new adventure demonstrates a master of darkness's continuing power to scare the daylights out of us.
The San Francisco Examiner
Dean Koontz believes his latest mystery-terror-thriller is his best work. And he is
right. ... Fear Nothing will make you fear almost everything. A terrific tale.
The Sunday Express (London)
Plausibly chilling...Koontz at his best.
The London Times
This is a moral fable for the turn of the millennium, an engagingly written, hugely
entertaining parable for our times.
