Review: A different kind of Odd story, but still wonderfully odd

Different in the sense that there are no spirits of the dead (other than the dog, Boo) for Odd to contend with.Instead, we have a friendly Artificial Intelligence (AI), a evil scientist corrupted by alien DNA with psychic mind control powers, and a 12 year old girl who is smart (and smart mouthed) beyond her years. Through it all we still have Odd Thomas, with his unique inner dialog and sense of the absurd intact. I highly recommend it.Mildly disappointed that the character of Chris Snow did not make an appearance, but I can hope that there is more to come from the town of Moonlight Bay and its adjacent Army base. Time, and Dean Koontz, will tell.
