Shimmers

By: J. P. Strecker

Narrated by: Jack Sanders

When a team of particle physicists conducts an advanced test at the Edison Laboratory in Milan, Ohio, they break through the boundaries of time and space. Their initial enthusiasm crashes when they realize they have released a mysterious and malevolent force.

Fifteen miles away, James and Joshua, identical three-year-old twins, frolic near the woods at a local campground. Unaware they are the only ones who can see the anomaly, they approach the spherical Shimmer. Joshua steps into the mist and disappears.

Through the years, James continues to encounter the Shimmers - some good...some terrifying. Determined to find his missing sibling, James partners with his younger brothers Matt and Mark, and his lifelong friend Bob on a mission to find Joshua and bring him home.

Their exploration sets up a life and death struggle - and the future of the world as we know it hangs in the balance.

A fun listen

If you were a kid in the 70/80s you will find the story relatable and, at times, funny. Reminesce on early Koontz. If you like stories that go bumb in the night in a light-hearted way, you'll enjoy this one.

Good book!

I enjoyed the book very much. I was hooked after a few chapters in. My interest continued to grow the further i made it along. Hoping for a sequel!

Story is good….but

I sincerely hope Mr. Sanders doesn’t think that women actually sound like that. His voice is pleasant enough when he’s just reading or portraying male characters but the comedic screech he uses to portray women’s voices is so jarring I gave up half way through and just read the rest of the Kindle edition for myself. The book itself is not bad - it held my interest well enough and presented an interesting take on those things that go bump in the night - but the narration was a real detraction from the story. I’ll definitely remember this narrator so I can avoid him in the future.
