'Readers who were wondering how Koontz could possibly follow up his remarkable Jane Hawk series can breathe a sigh of relief. Only a force greater than evil can stop what's coming next. And he's coming after Woody and his mother.

A man driven by a malicious evil has set a depraved plan into motion. Woody's fearful suspicions are taking shape. When he hears the boy who communicates like he does, without speaking, Kipp knows he needs to find him before it's too late. A uniquely gifted dog with a heart as golden as his breed, Kipp is devoted beyond reason to people. But Woody believes a monstrous evil was behind his father's death and now threatens him and his mother. For Megan, keeping her boy safe and happy is what matters. Not when his mother, Megan, tells him she loves him. Not when his father died in a freak accident. Woody Bookman hasn't spoken a word in his eleven years of life.

From Dean Koontz, the international bestselling master of suspense, comes an epic thriller about a terrifying threat to humanity and the singular compassion it will take to defeat it.
