Dude, you *must* check out LIGHTNING! It's fantastic. My favorite Koontz novel, hands down, as well as one of my favorite novels of all time.
Others worth checking out: WHISPERS, STRANGERS, MIDNIGHT, PHANTOMS, TWILIGHT EYES, and SERVANTS OF TWILIGHT.
Man, I miss the old Koontz. These days I can't get through 50 pages of his books. He's become self-parody, almost. But back in the day . . . amazing.
