This is the first work from Mr Koontz that I have read in a long, long time.  In my younger years I metaphorically worshipped the ground walked on by Stephen King, and used his immense talent and incredible imagination as a reference point for everyone else who wrote (and stoll do) in the genre.  But time passes and we all grow and mature as human beings.  Dean Koontz is not the same writer he was back in the 1980s and 1990s.  His writing  conveys a sense of immediacy and even wonder that few writers in the world can match.  For example, his description of the forest in this excerpt was quite stunning in its beauty and few fantasy writers would be able to drag their reader so quickly and so completely into their own universe as Mr Koontz does in WILDERNESS.  The plot is excellent and the pace of the story was perfect with a heartwarming finale on several levels.So this turned out to be a great purchase and a truly fantastic read.  I can not wait to read the full novel!BFN Greggorio!
