Worthy read!

I have read all of Mr Koontz' works. Although not my favorite and slow at the start, this book really kicked into nail biting reading in the second half. Appropriate for election years especially, it really makes you wonder and question. As a nation we should always pay attention to what is going on in our government to protect our many freedoms.

Held my attention from beginning to end

I liked this book a lot. It had all the things that I want in a good book ... love, action, and mystery. The storyline was imaginative, and I looked forward to finding what would happen to the delightful family.

Final story didn't mesh with the first part well

Started one direction, but changed 1/2 in. I wasn't thrilled with the resolution of the story arc.
