DESCRIPTION:
They were victims. From different backgrounds, living in different towns and cities across America, they had nothing in common—except fear. Deep in the heart of a sprawling desert, a dark memory called out to them drawing them to the Tranquility Motel—where the terrifying truth was waiting….. Cold and stark, an unknown terror gripped their dreams and turned their days into living nightmares. A handful of people. And they could not escape. They were strangers. They were chosen
Relentless suspense -- for me at least. I do not like all Koontz' books. He wrote some pretty bad ones. But this book held me spellbound. Like it often happens, both Koontz and King start out with an amazing speed, great ideas and likable, well-rounded characters, and then lose momentum and imagination towards the end.For me, this wasn't the case here. The suspense was such that I found it hard to put the book down. I kept wondering how he was going to keep all those strings (the many characters) together, and tie them up in the end, but he did.This is science fiction, which -- when good -- I love. I loved this one, with its hopeful ending. Koontz . "Great Koontz book. A huge roller-coaster ride involving multipul characters." according to EGH92Great Koontz book.

This is the second time I've read Strangers, but it's as if I read it for the first time. The characters are people I wish I knew. The story is about hope, love, friendship and facing together that which could never have been faced alone. Wonderful book!
