Fear Nothing: Summary and book reviews of Fear Nothing by Dean Koontz, plus links to an excerpt from Fear Nothing and a biography of Dean Koontz.

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.

Media Reviews

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.   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 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.

I loved Fear Nothing! It took me a while to get into it, but after that, I flew threw it. Chris is such and intoxicating character. I have read dozens of Deans Koontz's books, and Fear Nothing and Sieze the night. I can't wait for the final book.
