Dean R Koontz started his career in 1965 with the science fiction novels, the fans, unless an overwhelming support from reviewers e. In early 1970, he wrote detective novels under a pseudonym was.
As the incredible success of Anne Rice and Stephen King horror into the realm of publishing the book of its kind in occasional part of their own, Koontz combined his background with his science-fiction background to lead thrillerwith a contemporary style of dark fantasy that few others can only infer.
Leads to begin with brutal murders of three men and the discovery of a child of nine years - Melanie - taken by her mother six years ago by his father after the divorce. His father was one of the men murdered.
Dan Haldane is the police officer working the case, and the love that grows between him and Melanie's mother, is as obvious as a trivialSideShow.
It turned out that her father kept a prisoner and his colleagues Melanie in "gray area" - which contains shocking a sensory isolation tank, a biofeedback device and a device of aversion therapy that includes electrodes to the people.
The father and another psychologist at UCLA were apparently conducting bizarre experiments on Melanie.
Melanie is a figure difficult. And 'the central figure of the book in more ways than one, but because of emotional and mentalDamage done by her father, she does not behave or respond like a normal child. There was almost nothing (outside), the reader reason to us, you like it or feel for them. It takes ability to Koontz to bring their life for the reader. We pity her, because given the two hard men (Dan Haldane and a security guard doing).
But Haldane's immediate problem is to find out how the three men were killed. Their bodies are destroyed and divided into many different typesthat challenge the forensic examination. A group of gorillas that he could not do.
Melanie returns to her mother, and follows more problems. More people are murdered terrible, including the owner of a mysterious book and supply store in a classic locked room mystery.
While Dan runs clues becomes a mother of Melanie in a rent and a security guard, he is drawn into the drama. This to me is a tragic mistake, because, as a good guy Melanie protection lasts, he is a clone of Dan
IAssume that most readers find that fundamental truth, long before Dan Koontz But this may be a chain of Rogue sadistic psychologists to pursue and achieve an occult author to government, mind control and the total social slavery to all of us be.
Other shortcomings: I could not believe it would be a child psychologist Melanie mother trying to deal with traumatized daughter alone. Or that they would attempt to put the child under hypnosis immediately, of course, would onlyEscape from extensive experience in a sensory isolation tank. She is obviously so stupid, we begin to understand why blind enough for his mistake was to marry the father of Melanie first.
I could not believe the background of the police. And Dan never seemed constant jokes fun for me. I would always keep his mouth shut.
But the psychology of the dark conspiracy / secret occult / projects of the government was powerful enough for me reading long after I discovered that the "E" wasThis was the murder of people and seemed to threaten Melanie and her mother.
And if I did, I thought it was a threat to herself Melanie. I am not convinced that it would be - have, except for dramatic purposes - since I do not think that a child who had never socialized would feel guilty for the preservation of his life.
Somehow, despite all the shortcomings, Koontz's novels are always worth reading.
