review 1: I've got to hand it to Mr. Koontz - the guy knows how to tell a story. This book, like most of his books, is unchallenging crowd-pleasing fluff, but it's fast and fun. He gives the readers what they want, and he's especially good at striking chords with female readers, who make up the bulk of the reading public. This story is a sci-fi adventure/quest, which brings in the guys, but there are plenty of subtle touches designed to engage the women as well. Mr. Koontz fires on all cylinders and knows how deliver a slick product that casts a very wide net. While praise might be a bit of a stretch, his success is well-deserved.

... morere intelligent beings, civilization is struggling to return to the planet's surface. After man fled the stars, he tried to explore his own genetic frontier, creating horrible races of deformed beings - some scaled, some furred, tiny, winged and huge. Now Jask, a Pure who retains the original human genetic code, and Tedesco, a great bear with a human brain, are thrown together by their one shared and fatal trait - telepath. Hunted like animals by the fearful populace, they go in search of The Black Presence - which may be the key to mankind's place in the cosmos. less
