À propos de cet audio

A group of strangers bound by terrifying synchronicity becomes humankind’s hope of survival in an exhilarating, twist-filled novel by Dean Koontz, the #1 New York Times bestselling master of suspense.

As a girl, Joanna Chase thrived on Rustling Willows Ranch in Montana until tragedy upended her life. Now thirty-four and living in Santa Fe with only misty memories of the past, she begins to receive pleas—by phone, through her TV, in her dreams: I am in a dark place, Jojo. Please come and help me. Heeding the disturbing appeals, Joanna is compelled to return to Montana, and to a strange childhood companion she had long forgotten.

She isn’t the only one drawn to the Montana farmstead. People from all walks of life have converged at the remote ranch. They are haunted, on the run, obsessed, and seeking answers to the same omniscient danger Joanna came to confront. All the while, on the outskirts of Rustling Willows, a madman lurks with a vision to save the future. Mass murder is the only way to see his frightening manifesto come to pass.

Through a bizarre twist of seemingly coincidental circumstances, a band of strangers now find themselves under Montana’s big dark sky. Their lives entwined, they face an encroaching horror. Unless they can defeat this threat, it will spell the end for humanity.

Ce que les critiques en disent

“Iraqi-Canadian actor Fajer Al-Kaisi narrates this twisted horror story set under Montana's big, dark sky.… With his emphatic voice, Al-Kaisi's narration keeps listeners engaged as he takes them through one bizarre event after another. His intelligent and perfectly timed performance makes for believable heroes and frightening villains.”AudioFile Magazine

"Narrator Fajer AJ-Kaisi does an excellent job providing voices and accents for Koontz's wide and numerous cast of characters. He ably conveys the tidbits of philosophy, quantum mechanics, and cult thinking that Koontz sprinkles throughout."Library Journal

“Another A-plus thriller from a writer on a serious winning streak.”Booklist (starred review)

Intriguing and exciting

I have yet to meet a Dean Koontz book I didn’t enjoy. He has the gift to bring wonder and magic and even pondering to his tales. This book left me happily satisfied in its conclusion and developments throughout. Many thanks, Mr Koontz.

A Good Paranormal Mystery

A supernatural mystery with multiple plot lines, THE BIG DARK SKY is a book I'd recommend to people who enjoy different characters coming together in unexpected ways to stop an inconceivable threat.

There are plenty of characters with complex/different backstories in THE BIG DARK SKY. Everyone is distinct, though I found I empathized with Joanna the most. While I didn't quite connect with all of the characters the way I hoped to, they were engaging and peaked my curiosity.

There was an atmosphere of the paranormal throughout the book that made for some shocking moments, especially when Joanna made the choice to return to her childhood home and unravel the mystery. The book went in places I didn't expect, which allowed for some great twists.

That said, THE BIG DARK SKY didn't shine as bright as I wanted it to. While it was interesting, I never felt the situation was overly tense. Yes, there was danger and a few moments of action, but I was never quite as intimidated by The Other as I felt I needed to be. Same with one of the other antagonists: The threat just didn't connect to me. I also felt the ending was over too quickly and would have liked a more dangerous confrontation with the characters.

That said, fans of Dean Koontz and moderate paranormal stories will find much to enjoy in this book. It's got an interesting concept, lots of characters, different adventures, and unexpected villains.

Very enjoyable!

The performance of the narrator is outstanding in my opinion. He made an already good story even better.

What the hell? Is Dean Koonzt dead ?

I forced myself through this book. Once a lover of all Koontz books. This was incredibly hard to follow. And just didn’t make sense in some places. The plot line is impossible. The characters have no substance, and it feels like a chaotic psychiatric episode of nonsense.
I’ve followed his books for years. Loved so many. But I can’t even describe how much I couldn’t get behind this book.
Disappointed and put off from reading anything from him again.
Once a fan, no more.

Dean Koontz fan

I have to say Dean Koontz is one of my all time favourite authors. That said, I could not make it past the first chapter. It was, dare I say, boring. I'm usually pulled into a web of curiosity. I have no interest in this storyline. No interest in the characters. Disappointing to say the least.
