Superbly told, action-packed adventure
With ever-advancing technology available to wider and wider audiences, some feel it's only a matter of time before that technology is used against Joe Everyman on a massive scale. This superbly written story brings that fear to life and delves deep into the consequences that come from the loss of free will and thought.
Deeply insightful, with a cast of characters that draw out an emotional response in each chapter. I felt especially drawn to the plight of Cora Gundersun, and the honor and integrity of Sheriff Tillman. I did not, however, particularly care for Jane and that, in my opinion, is a prime example of the brilliant writing of Dean Koontz. Jane Hawk is largely unlikeable. She is cold, distant, ruthless - which is exactly how you would expect a person on the run, bent on the survival of herself and her child, to act. Though I did not ever come to like her, I continued to root for Jane and was often impressed by her skills and determination.
Throughout each page, there are insights into human character and the vital importance of true independence. It was a fascinating, heart-racing, soul-jarring book. From the moment I picked it up, I struggled to put it down and ultimately finished it in three sittings. I am so glad to have this excellent novel on my shelf, and look forward to reading more about Jane Hawk in novels to come!
