Publisher Description

Harry Lyon was a rational man, a cop who refused to let his job harden his soul. Then one fateful day, he was forced to shoot a man--and a homeless stranger with bloodshot eyes uttered the haunting words that challenged Harry Lyon's sanity:"Ticktock, ticktock. You'll be dead in sixteen hours...Dead by dawn...Dead by dawn...Dead by dawn..."

"The first Koontz book I ever read. I was browsing the bargin rack at Waldens (remember them?) and this caught my eye. A comment on the jacket said if you read the first two paragraphs of this book you will buy it. They were right and have been hooked ever since."

    " Dean Koontz is a little out there for my liking, but all the books I've read of his seem to involve a Golden Retriever and I so appreciate the personality and viewpoint he gives our furry friends. I did enjoy the characters in this book and the story as well - as out there as it was. Great for listening in the car =) "

    " A bit too sci-fi for my taste. I read it just because my son wanted to, and I wanted to make sure it was inappropriate before I said no. If it weren't for a couple descriptions in the first chapter, it would have been fine for him, though it may have given him nightmares. Just not my style. "
