as moment by moment, the terrifying threat of Edgler Foreman Vess intensifies. Driven by a newly discovered thirst for meaning beyond mere self-preservation, Chyna musters every inner resource she has to save an endangered girl. At first, her sole aim is to get out alive - until, by chance, she learns the identity of Vess's next intended victim, a faraway innocent only she can save. There is a scene in which our heroine is trying to free herself from being chained to a table and it goes on for 50 pages. This book takes the cake for the most overly descriptive, over written book I have ever read. A self-proclaimed "homicidal adventurer," Vess lives only to satisfy all appetites as they arise, to immerse himself in sensation, to live without fear, remorse or limits, to live with "intensity." Chyna is trapped in his deadly orbit.Ĭhyna is a survivor, toughened by a lifelong struggle for safety and self-respect. This was my first Dean Koontz novel and it came so highly recommended.
A murderous sociopath, Edgler Foreman Vess, has entered the house, intent on killing everyone inside. Past midnight, Chyna Shepard, twenty-six, gazes out a moonlit window, unable to sleep on her first night in the Napa Valley home of her best friend's family.
