When Grady Adams sees the animals, he's not sure how to respond to their remarkable nature; in fact, he isn't even sure what they are. Aside from playing a bit of hide and seek, as human and creatures study each other, he thinks calling his friend, veterinarian Cammy Rivers, is a wise idea. Grady doesn't realize Cammy has spent the evening researching strange events she's witnessed earlier that day in her office and in a friend's field. Meanwhile, citizens of the town have more to fear than merely the officials who want to quell all knowledge of the events and animals potentially involved.

Dean Koontz writes about the breathless nature of synchronicity and awe better than most fiction writers today. In his latest work, BREATHLESS, Koontz continues to tweak the way readers view the extraordinary. A succinct work, this novel is another look at a theme on which Koontz has pondered; it's a wonderful exploration of hope and humanity, as well as the meaning of connections and known, as well as guessed, reality.
