Dean Koontz has done it again with INNOCENCE. The two main
characters have spent their lives hiding from contact with
humanity. Addison spends his life hiding underground; from
the moment he was born he has had to hide. The nurse at his
birth tried to kill him, and if not for his mother, she
would have. Any time someone looks upon his face they get
violent and attack him. Yet Addison is the kindest most
understanding person you will ever meet.
Gwyneth spends her life hiding in numerous locations above
ground. She has also been hiding her whole life. Gwyneth
hides her face behind layers of make up when she goes
outside, avoiding the touch of anyone. She is trying to
prove her father was murdered and bring to justice the man
she believes killed him. Gwyneth and Addison meet in a
strange twist of fate at the library late one night. Their
meeting sparks a series of events that ultimately leads them
to come together and help each other as the planet and
mankind are faced with world-altering events.
Dean Koontz manages to show the utter evil of mankind while
also showing the very best of it. As you read INNOCENCE,
you try to understand how any person can suffer so much and
be so pure of heart. In telling this story, Dean Koontz
makes you want to be a better person. Koontz pulls from the
depth of our soul the good he hopes is in all of humanity,
making us want a better world for our children. Dean Koontz
is a master, and in this book he shows us what could be and
what the cost is to mankind.
In Innocence, Dean Koontz blends mystery, suspense, and acute insight into the human soul in a masterfully told tale that will resonate with readers forever. He lives in solitude beneath the city, an exile from society, which will destroy him if he is ever seen. She dwells in seclusion, a fugitive from enemies who will do her harm if she is ever found. But the bond between them runs deeper than the tragedies that have scarred their lives. Something more than chance-and nothing less than destiny-has brought them together in a world whose hour of reckoning is fast approaching.
