Publisher's Summary

A dazzling new series debuts with a remarkable heroine certain to become a new icon of suspense, propelled by the singular narrative genius of New York Times best-selling author Dean Koontz.

"I very much need to be dead."

These are the chilling words left behind by a man who had everything to live for - but took his own life. In the void that remains stands his widow, Jane, surrounded by questions destined to go unanswered...unless she does what all the grief, fear, confusion, and fury inside of her demand: find the truth, no matter what.

There is no one else to speak for Jane's husband - or the others who have followed him into death at their own hands. Although people of talent and accomplishment, people admired and happy and sound of mind, have recently been committing suicide in surprising numbers, no one else is willing to give up everything just to seek, to find, to know. No one except Jane. But ahead lies only risk. Because those arrayed against her are legion...and dangerously devoted to protecting something profoundly important - or terrifying - enough to exterminate any and all in their way.

Too many have already died, and those responsible will learn that all their malevolent power may not be enough to stop a woman as clever as they are cold-blooded, as relentless as they are ruthless - and who is driven by a righteous rage they can never comprehend. Because it is born of love.

Eerily parallels the current events!

Classic Koontz, with his prose filled descriptions and picture perfect settings....action gallore with a heroine that manages to feel real in spite of the events happening in the book...with the suicides of Kate Spade and Anthony Bourdain paralleling the story, it made for an interesting read. I would totally recommend this to anyone wanting a fast paced, well written story.

Engaging!

I thought this book was great, I loved the main character, Jane and am looking forward to reading the next two books with her. She has guts and a heart. The bad guys and the technology they use is terrifying and makes you wonder if it is even possible in the real world, and of it is, then well, even more terrifying! Dean Koontz is so good as bringing a scene alive, you almost feel like you are there. I liked the narration as well.

The narrator is incredible

It was a blood pounding story through all 5 books. M first reading of Dean Koontz other than "Watchers" This is my 4th time through all 5 books. Such a gripping premise and his writing won't let you put the books down. Narrator is perfectly to the story. I'll be hard-pressed to find more like this Gem.

Really enjoyed the progression of the plot line

Excellent story. Really enjoyed the turns build up to an intricate plot. The performance was very well done and clear while listening at a faster speed.

Painful listen when the narrator does a man’s voice.

The story was ok but when the narrator did some of the men’s voices, I was tempted to grit my teeth. Better to just lower the voice a little if you must, but the deep grating attempt to sound gruff was a hard listen.
For myself, I didn’t enjoy that every bad guy had to die…

Slowwww

The story was good but the narrator was painfully slow. Recommend listening at 1.2X speed for it to sound normal speed.
