Publisher Description

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER   Michelina Bellsong is on a mission. She is following a missing family to the edge of America . . . to a place she never knew existed—a place of terror, wonder, and shattering revelation. What awaits her there will change her life and the life of everyone she knows—if she can find the key to survival. At stake are a young girl of extraordinary goodness, a young boy with killers on his trail, and Micky’s own wounded soul. Ahead lie incredible peril, startling discoveries, and paths that lead through terrible darkness to unexpected light.

"I normally don't rate books with 5 stars but this was an excellent read. Loved the "heart-warming ET" side of the story ... but it also brought out the bioethics side in today's society. We read so many stories in the news of medical "mercy/suicide killings" of both the old and young. Even though this type of euthenasia is not legal ... it happens with the assistance of "well meaning" nurses, doctors, staff, visitors, ... and apparently Bioethics is taught in medical colleges. This novel touched numerous character's lives and their heartache as their loved ones are singled out for extermination."

— Brenda (5 out of 5 stars)

    " A very intricate book. For the first 400 pages you feel you are reading 3 different novels. This book has some very realistic details to it mixed with fantasy. If you like UFOs, you will like it. If you like stories about serial killers, you will like it. And if you like female heroines, you will like it. "

    " Kenny picked this out at the last minute for a road trip (audiobook). I was bored out of my mind anytime the book was following Curtis, until he met Gabby. I did like Mickey's storyline though and that's what kept me into the book. "

    " One moment I am laughing, the next I have knots in my stomach. I am interested in the characters, where they have been, and am dying to know where they are going in this story. Perfect for reading a couple chapters in the evenings. "

    " Normally I enjoy Koontz's books but this was a huge let down. I found it really slow going at the start - it was like reading three random, unrelated life stories. The 'twists' were obvious and the entire book was just too weird for me. "
