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.
A thrilling novel of suspense and adventure, as the lives
of strangers converge around a mystery unfolding high in
the Colorado mountains β and the balance of the world
begins to tiltβ¦.
In the stillness of a golden September afternoon, deep in
the wilderness of the Rockies, a solitary craftsman, Grady
Adams, and his magnificent Irish wolfhound Merlin step from
shadow into lightβ¦and into an encounter with enchantment.
That night, through the trees, under the moon, a pair of
singular animals will watch Grady's isolated home, waiting
to make their approach.
A few miles away, Camillia Rivers, a local veterinarian,
begins to unravel the threads of a puzzle that will bring
all the forces of a government in peril to her door.
At a nearby farm, long-estranged identical twins come
together to begin a descent into darknessβ¦In Las Vegas, a
specialist in chaos theory probes the boundaries of the
unknowableβ¦On a Seattle golf course, two men make matter-of-
fact arrangements for murderβ¦Along a highway by the sea, a
vagrant scarred by the past begins a trek toward his
destinyβ¦
In a novel that is at once wholly of our time and timeless,
fearless and funny, Dean Koontz takes readers into
the moment between one turn of the world and the next,
across the border between knowing and mystery. It is a
journey that will leave all who take it BREATHLESS.
