He's Hollywood's most dazzling star, who is worshiped by millions and hated by one twisted soul. His existence is under siege as a series of terrifying, enigmatic "messages" breaches the security systems of his Bel Air estate. The boxes arrive mysteriously, one by one, at Channing Manheim's compound. Manheim's security chief, ex-cop Ethan Truman, is used to looking beneath the surface of things. But until he entered the orbit of a Hollywood icon, he had no idea just how slippery reality could be.

Edge of your seat story and amazing narrator
This book is such a "page turner" I couldn't stop listening to it. The story was suspenseful, heart pounding, and didn't let up for a second. The best part of it was probably the narrator, the way he voiced each character was superb.

Rushed
Not bad, but the story felt rushed. Just when I thought the narrative was getting going, I looked at the time remaining and realized that it was actually winding down. After a pretty good setup (some initially grating characterization aside), the author seems to rush to the finish line, dropping plot points and ignoring characters who I assumed would play some role in the rest of the story. Even some of the characters who we spend a lot of time with seem to get lost by the climax, amounting to little more than window-dressing. Worst of all, the ending was abrupt and failed to provide any satisfying epilogue. It felt like I was reading the "made for tv" version of a story after some overzealous editor had chopped half of it's content for brevity. It seems cruel to give the story less than 3 stars as the little that we get is not badly written. But it's a generous 3 for a disappointingly incomplete story.

Good Listen
The plot of this book is a little off the beat (concerning voodoo). However I still found this to be a good listen with a good pace and character development.
I gave it 4 starts because the ending (I thought) was a bit open, it didn't tie the ends as much as I would have liked. But overall this tale is suspenseful.
Christopher Lane does an excellent job as a narrator.

Excellent listen - oddly enough my first Dean Koontz book. Dean is an amazing writer, but I found myself wishing there was a bit more to this universe. It was a very short book and I wish that Dawson's character was better utilized after he discovered his potential.
Regardless, a great listen.

a DEVILISH thrill ride......4 STARS~~~~
PLOT: Voodoo power scares up some goblins to come after a good guy. Thrills galore.
Jack has two small children that become the "target" of a Voodoo Master who summons the power of Evil and opens the gates of hell. Horrific yes. .....Jack is a policeman and widower. He becomes romantically linked to his partner Rebecca. When a Voodoo Curse gives the power to sick "evil goblins" like creatures to kill his children Jack must find a way to stop the evil. I was not a big horror fan til this book. The "goblins' are detailed and the chase to get the children is spelled out in a very scary way to keep you on the edge of your seat. Just when you think someone is safe they return. This starts slow and the last half of the book is super exciting. Koontz is the master of details and he has you guessing all the way. the READER is excellent and can do many accents that needed to keep the story moving along. ONE of the BEST of the early Koontz stories. I liked it. GREAT 4 STAR audiobook.

He is one of my favorite writers and I'm really glad they are putting his older works on audio. I'm not into VooDoo but this book was a real page turner! It was very easy to listen to and the narrator did an Excellent job with the voices and "supernatural" sounds. I highly recommend this one.

Edge of Your Seat Listen
This is one of those books that I would gladly listen to more than once. It is detailed without being drawn out or boring. I enjoyed the drama that unfolded around the hero's children who are at the heart of this story. If you love science fiction, you'll love this yarn about the supernatural. If you're curious about the supernatural, this one will whet your appetite. If you're a fan of Dean Koontz, he won't let you down. I feel as though he put some of his best efforts into this one.

Dean Koontz is either great or lousy. This one falls into the latter category. I might give it another chance, but with so many good to great books to read....it will not be a priority. I really like Koontz, but steer clear of this one.
