Summary
Winner of the 2019 Audie Award for Best Male Narrator with an afterword read by the author
A “superior thriller” (Oakland Press) about a man, a dog, and a terrifying threat that could only have come from the imagination of #1 New York Times bestselling author Dean Koontz - nominated as one of America’s best-loved novels by PBS’s The Great American Read.
On his thirty-sixth birthday, Travis Cornell hikes into the foothills of the Santa Ana Mountains. But his path is soon blocked by a bedraggled Golden Retriever who will let him go no further into the dark woods.
That morning, Travis had been desperate to find some happiness in his lonely, seemingly cursed life. What he finds is a dog of alarming intelligence that soon leads him into a relentless storm of mankind’s darkest creation....
Critic reviews
“His best story yet! Cross Lassie with E.T., add a touch of The Wolfen and a dash of The Godfather, and you get a sense of some of the ingredients in this thriller....this is the sort of thoroughly frightening and entertaining tale that has its readers listening for noises in the night.” --Publishers Weekly
“His best ever, an imaginative and unusual blend of sense and sentiment. A fable about love and trust...with echoes of Frankenstein and The Island of Dr. Moreau. A breakthrough for Koontz.” --Kirkus Reviews
“Displaying...more depth and a lot more humor than Stephen King, Dean Koontz has really hit his stride.” --The New York Times Book Review

A wonderfully gripping story
Could have listened to this in one sitting if time allowed. Great characters, gripping story and well read too.

A great mix of genres that work well together
This felt like a mix of a love story, science fiction and a thriller. I didn't think it would work but it does and it produces a heart warming story with well developed characters. The pace of the story suites the story line and keeps you interested throughout. Have recommended this story to others especially animal lovers.

Never tire of this story
After reading Watchers many times, vision problems had prevented me reading. I was so delighted to find Audible and to be able to listen to it being read in such a fantastic way. It held my attention all the way as if I did not know it at all.
