Publisher Description

Reporter Holly Thorne is intrigued by Jim Ironheart, who has saved 12 lives in the past three months. Holly wants to know what kind of power drives him, why terrifying visions of a churning windmill haunt his dreams, and just what he means when he whispers in his sleep that an enemy who will kill everyone is coming.

“A master storyteller, sometimes humorous, sometimes shocking, but always riveting. His characters sparkle with life. And his fast-paced plots are wonderfully fiendish, taking unexpected twists and turns.” —The San Diego Union-Tribune

    " I was expecting a typical Dean Koontz thriller, but was a little let down at his attempt to do something different. Cold Fire wasn't what I thought it was, and while I respect that Koontz wanted to change things up, I really just wanted a regular thriller without the psychological twist. "

    " This was not one of my favorites. There is quite a formulaic approach to many of his books and this is one of them. The boy girl tag team romance is getting really old. This one also smacked of Stephen King which Koontz in my opinion never does. He is still one of my favorite authors. "
