Summary
Over the next few days Frank develops a fear of sleep, because each time he wakes, he discovers strange objects in his hands and pockets - objects far more frightening than blood.
Husband-and-wife detective team Bobby and Julie Dakota specialize in high-ticket corporate security investigations, but when a distraught and desperate Frank Pollard begs them to watch over him, they can't refuse. Out of compassion - and curiosity - they agree to get to the bottom of his mysterious, amnesiac fugues.
It seems a simple job: just follow a client who wants to be watched and tell him where he winds up. But as the Dakotas begin to discover where their client goes when he sleeps, they are drawn slowly into ever-darkening realms where they encounter the ominous figure stalking Frank. Their lives are threatened, as is that of Julie's gentle, Down's-syndrome brother, Thomas.
To Thomas, death is "the bad place" from which there is no return. But Julie and Bobby - and their tortured client - ultimately learn that equally bad places exist in the world of the living, places so steeped in evil that, in contrast ,death seems almost a relief.

Fantastic
As with all of Dean Koontz books this was spectacular from beginning to end and I was impressed with the end in particular, interesting and exciting throughout

Another great Koontz book
Unpredictable and quirky. Unlike anything else I’ve read, but in the reliably unusual and brilliant style only Koontz writes in.
Great concept that maintained my interest throughout.

A good listen/read
I was hooked by the storyline, and although at first found it odd to have different narrator, just couldn’t wait to listen to what would happen 👌

the imagination and skilled writing of the author.
I liked the fact that you had no idea how it was going to end.

Beautiful narrative by both narrators. Very imaginative story, with super characters. nicely wrapped up at the end, and a heck of a journey throughout. Dean.... your a legand.

Could not stop listening
This is actually a good listening to. I sometimes wonder where some writers get their ideas from. crazy as it maybe, it is very interesting.
The characters are well written, the narrator and voice acting are well done. I was full engaged in the story, not once did it feel boring or I wanted to stop listen.
Even for a thriller/horror book, there were moments I found myself laughing at some of the seen and action that were explained in the book.
The only thing that I felt wasn't really utilised was the planet. Without going into too much details, I felt there isn't any really reason to include this part.
Nevertheless, I am still given this a 5*.

Didn't get through first hour
Couldnt listen to this due to narration. Am sure the story is probably good (it seemed interesting, as Koontz's storys tend to be), but sadly I wont find out.
