Fear Nothing – Dean Koontz

0

I’m not a reader of “Horror” really. In fact I probably haven’t read more than a handful in my aged life, but, I was very pleased that I had given Dean a chance when I found his book available at a very knock down price.

A Customer. ( Him again. Do you know him/her? ) has an excellent write up in Amazon. I publish it – in part – here.

This, the first of Dean Koontz’s new trilogy of stories set in the town of Moonlight Bay, is another example of Koontz’s ability to develop characters that you can really feel for. Another page turning experience that engrosses you into the heart of the action. Christopher Snow and his trusty dog are thrown into the heart of a government conspiracy with a twist, genetic defects with both horrific results but with a flip-side resulting in characters that will leave you thinking…is that possible?!! His father has taught him to Fear Nothing

As you can tell I love this book, hell, I love all his books. The follow up book Seize the Night (Moonlight Bay Trilogy)
is already available and i have read this also (see my review of that also) and again continues the saga, however it is important to note that the books are stand alone stories, reading one does not commit the reader to reading them all. Without any doubt Koontz has written a story that will captivate the reader and they, like myself, will no doubt want to follow the characters stories onwards.

A fine book from the king of horror, admittedly yes this book contains less frights than say a ‘typical’ Koontz novel but that’s not the beauty of this book, it is the questions raised and the emotions brought on by the action of the book, a fast paced action that does indeed scare the reader at times, more than once I felt those wonderful Koontz induced shivers
down my spine. Congratulations to the author on another wonderful example of how horror should be written!!
I probably liked it so much because it was not full of the (to my mind) silly horror stunts.

Hope you enjoy it.
Philip
Its available here at a discount price.
P.S. Another point is that you must not read this book without reading ‘Seize the Night’ because the story continues. Fear Nothing is simply an introductory novel to the real action packed book Seize the Night (Moonlight Bay Trilogy).
