Product Description: A storm struck on the night Laura Shane was born, and there was a strangeness about the weather that people would remember for years. But even more mysterious was the blond-haired stranger who appeared out of nowhere – the man who saved Laura from a fatal delivery. Years later – another bolt of lightning – and the stranger returned, again to save Laura from tragedy. Was he the guardian angel he seemed? The devil in disguise? Or the master of a haunting destiny beyond time and space?
Vivid & Unexpected I could picture the whole thing. Creepy and enthralling, I expect no less from Dean Koontz.
One of Koontz best After reading most of Dean Koontz's books, I found Lighting to be refreshing from a woman's standpoint. The days that Laura spent in an orphanage, trying to dodge a child predator were alarming. Caught up in Laura's emotional trauma, I was just as horrified when her husband was killed. With mostly every one that she loves taken from her, Karen's life and death battle to protect her son was intense and her guardian popping unexpectedly in and out of her life, altering history, was a great twist. I highly recommend this book. Tamera
Best Koontz Story Ever I love Koontz in general, but this story really was awesome. I have recommended this book to my wife, daughter and others -- who have subsequently recommended it to others. Read it -- you won't be sorry.
The beginning This book started my love affair with Koontz's wrting. Its a wonderful, witty, well written story. Mystery, humour and a rarity for Koontz - a little romance. The characters are perfect and the story beautiful. Read it.... become a Koontz junkie too.
My first Koontz novel And I was not dissapointed! I understand that this book is a little different than most of his stuff, but that is what makes him such a great author, is that he can transcend genres. I am very intruiged by the concept of time travel, and this is certainly one of the best and smartest time travel books I have read. Also, even though the book is 20 years old, it still reads great. It was kind of fun to have a flashback to my child hood considering I am about the same age as her Laura's son Chris. Great book!
