The Face of Fear

By: Dean Koontz

Narrated by: Patrick Lawlor

Don’t look down.…

Because you’re trapped on the 40th floor of a deserted office building by a psychopath called "The Butcher".

Don’t look down.…

Because you’re an ex-mountain climber and a fall from Everest left you with a bad leg and a paralyzing fear of heights.

Don’t look down.…

Because The Butcher has slaughtered the guards and short-circuited the elevators - the stairways are blocked, and for you and the beautiful woman with you, there’s only one escape route.

Don’t look down.…

Because 600 feet of empty space are looking back at you.

Interesting story.

I always love Dean Koontz’s stories. This was a decent thriller. Somehow I’ve overlooked it through the years and it was nice to find an older novel I haven’t read!

Not his best work

I have read pretty much all of Dean Koontzs books and love them. But this one not so much. First of all I dislike this narrator and didn’t notice who it was when I purchased the book. I know Koontz loves wordy descriptions but this went above and beyond. I had to finish it because I wanted to know the ending but it was a struggle.

Great Book, love the narrator

Great book to listen to on long rides. keeps you wanted more. no dullness here

This had a new twist.

Where does The Face of Fear rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

The story of this book kept my interest. I really like the main characters portraying old time characters. I would love more stories involving these two and there playacting

Excellent as usual

I think this is one of the nest books he has written in quite a while..Patrick Lawlor did his usual excellent job as narrator. If there is anything negative to say at all is the way it ends. It's like there are two endings/ Other than that it exceeptionsl. A real page turner!
