About the Book

Only a handful of fictional characters are recognized by first name alone. Dean Koontz's Odd Thomas is one of those rare literary heroes who have come alive in readers' imaginations as he explores the greatest mysteries of this world and the next with his inimitable wit, heart, and quiet gallantry. Now Koontz follows Odd as he is irresistibly drawn onward to a destiny he cannot imagine and to undreamed of places where the perils he will face and the stakes for which he fights will eclipse all that he has known. The legend began in the obscure little town of Pico Mundo. A fry cook named Odd was rumored to have the extraordinary ability to communicate with the dead. Through tragedy and triumph, exhilaration and heartbreak, word of Odd Thomas's gifts filtered far beyond Pico Mundo, attracting unforgettable new friends--and enemies of implacable evil. With great gifts comes the responsibility to meet great challenges. But no mere human being was ever meant to face the darkness that now stalks the world--not even one as oddly special as Odd Thomas. After grappling with the very essence of reality itself, after finding the veil that separates him from his soul mate, Stormy Llewellyn, tantalizingly thin yet impenetrable, Odd longed only to return to a life of quiet anonymity with his two otherworldly sidekicks--his dog Boo and a new companion, one of the few who might rival his old pal Elvis. But a true hero, however humble, must persevere. Haunted by dreams of an all-encompassing red tide, Odd is pulled inexorably to the sea, to a small California coastal town where nothing is as it seems. Now the forces arrayed against him have both official sanction and an infinitely more sinister authority...and in this dark night of the soul dawn will come only after the most shattering revelations of all. Burnishing Dean Koontz's stature as a master of suspense and one of our most innovative and gifted storytellers, Odd Hours illuminates a legacy of mystery and hope that will shine on long after the final page. " " "From the Hardcover edition."

Review :
"Winning ... Quirky humor and an endearing voice..... Sensitive portrayals of minor characters whose lives [Odd] Thomas touches are a plus."--"Publishers Weekly" "It starts with a bang and goes like a house afire straight through to the penultimate chapter.... Koontz forges the kind of sweeping melodrama, complete with screwball laughs, nail-biting moments, and surprises, that is the bedrock of American narrative entertainment."--"Booklist " "The nice young fry cook with the occult powers is Koontz's most likable creation." --"New York Times ""Odd's strange gifts, coupled with his intelligence and self-effacing humor, make him one of the most quietly authoritative characters in recent popular fiction." --"Publishers Weekly", starred review "I can't wait for the next one."--Mark Graham, "Rocky Mountain News" "Odd Thomas [is] exactly the kind of hero that's needed." --"South Florida Sun-Sentinal ""Odd Thomas is another name for courage, truth, and devotion to your fellow man." --"Baton Rouge Advocate" "From the Hardcover edition." "The nice young fry cook with the occult powers is Koontz's most likable creation." --"New York Times ""Odd's strange gifts, coupled with his intelligence and self-effacing humor, make him one of the most quietly authoritative characters in recent popular fiction." --"Publishers Weekly," starred review "Odd Thomas [is] exactly the kind of hero that's needed." --"South Florida Sun-Sentinal ""Odd Thomas is another name for courage, truth, and devotion to your fellow man." --"Baton Rouge Advocate" "From the Hardcover edition."
