Strong Start, Weak Finish
A time travel story that started strong, but lost me 2/3 of the way in.
*Some spoilers*
The story is at its best when the main character is a child; horrors lurk around every corner, monsters haunt her world and stalk her relentlessly. Every chapter draws you in, and you genuinely fear for the safety of this poor child.
The trouble comes when she grows up and morphs into a Sara Connor-type character who stockpiles guns and fights time traveling Nazi's (really?). Perhaps if I read this in 1988, my review would be different, but in 2018, it doesn't really hold up.

Really great story, brilliantly written.& narrated
This story had it all! It was engaging, realistic and had very relatable characters! The narration elevated the story and characters and brought it to life. It was very entertaining however, there were a couple times I didn't quite follow or understand the plot but this didn't take away my enjoyment of the novel.

Intriguing
Enjoyed this story more than I expected to. I was impressed with Koontz ability to manipulate time. He smoothly shifts between present day and past but also with different time scales in each.
Narration is just okay. By the end of the book the bad guys all sort of sound like Arnold Schwarzenegger. I picked this book up on a deal, but it's worth the credit.

Great book and performance!
This is probably one of Koontz's best book. The narrator did a great job! It's a perfect combination.

Loved It!!
Surprisingly ...I really loved this Book!! Dean Koontz is one of my favorite authors and although some of the reviews did not give it much appeal, I found it to be well worth the credit used to purchase and my time!

A story that also has time travel in it
I’m entering this review as part of the #Audible 1 promotion. I looked through my library of books for one I wanted to tell others about and this one jumped out in my collection. I took a chance on this book when it came on a deal. Not a regular Koontz fan, but the way this book develops made me look into his other works for more of the same type of clever writing. This is not just a time travel book, I’ve listened to many and found that most have the same problems brought up (grandfather paradox) and the same clever explanation and solution, not this book.
This presents time travel from the perspective of a person affected by the time traveler. Things like how does your life change when someone shows up out of the blue to help, can you rely on that help, can you help them back.
There is enough story to develop characters you care about, but enough action to keep things going along. Some adult themes to help the reader realize how dire things can get, but nothing graphic.
Over all very impressed and will be looking for more from this author
